I’m trying to start a head and neck bootcamp for my fellows! #radsky #neuroradsky
Hey #neuroradiologists - when do you get your residents started on head and neck imaging? We start with our first years (usually second neuro rotation) to get them ready for call, but when they pick up those complex cases, I wonder if it's the best use of time (for both of us). #radsky #neuroradsky
