What It’s Like to Work in Radiology

Mint Physician Staffing

2 The process to become a radiologist is a longer one, requiring four years of medical school – two in the classroom and two in clinical rotations – and then a four year radiology residency, plus a fellowship training program often in a specialized area of radiology. Trauma patients are common, some coming directly from the emergency room.
