It should go without saying, but I’ll say it anyway: these are my opinions, formed from the combination of my biases, my experience as a radiologist since beginning residency 10 years ago, and my many conversations with radiologists across the country.

Recently I’ve been asked by several readers if I thought that fellowships were still necessary given the current radiologist shortage and white-hot market.
