Here’s a little compilation of posts from the last few years about getting started as a new radiology resident.
Transitioning
Scan by Scan is an essay about starting in radiology.
Doing
Approaching the Radiology R1 Year and its short companion post: How to be a First-Year Radiology Resident.
Want something a little more controversial? You Should be Correlating Clinically.
Learning
Book Recommendations for First-Year Radiology Residents (and some further recommendations for when there’s extra book fund to burn).
You can round that out with some more general thoughts on studying during residency. Then try my deeper dive: ultralearning radiology.
Iterating
Some important considerations for getting better every day.
More on deliberately improving what I call the “iterative loop of radiology.”
Getting and making the most of feedback. Also, a few more words about your self-worth as an early trainee.
Lastly, radiology call tips (which are also helpful every day).
Efficiency & Ergonomics
The umbrella post that contains the other posts about efficiency, ergonomics, workstation equipment, AutoHotkey, etc is here. People have described the series as (no joke) life-changing.
There’s a lot you can and should do other than just using whatever is plugged into your workstation, but this post for trainees is a start.

Sir, the collection of free radiology learning resources is already deleted. Do you or anyone have another copy?
Sorry no, I do not. I’ve removed that reference, as I neither made it originally nor have access to it now that it’s gone.
