Speed Mentoring

The UMass Chan Student Radiology Interest Group (RIG) coordinated a Speed Mentoring session with the Radiology Residents. Topics included IR, advice for applying to radiology residency, what it's like to be a radiology resident, what a career in radiology looks like, research, radiology sub-specialties, and electives available at UMass. Medical students Victoria Podsiadlo and Lyndia Personnat helped organize the event. Students cycled through each topic spending about 10 minutes at each table. Time for networking was factored in and sandwiches were provided. Thirteen medical students RSVP'd for the event.
