A Doximity “2024 recap” email reminded me that it was exactly one year ago today that I first wrote about job boards in radiology because of those misleading listings from RP. That’s what first got me thinking about doing something different with Independent Radiology (and the monthly jobs post). I’m glad it’s working so far with our field’s current market and tumultuousness.

It is because doctors are understood to place patients’ interests above commercial ones that they have long enjoyed professional autonomy and public trust. The history of medicine is too littered with incompetence and immorality to believe that doctors have always been worthy of this status. Still, something profound is lost when we submit to the jaundiced view that medicine is a business like any other. There is value in striving for something higher.
