About Me
TOPIC CHOICE
The topic that I will study this year is interventional radiology. More specifically, I aim to learn about what procedures interventional radiologists perform in addition to their day to day routines. Additionally, I would like to learn what specific tasks interventional radiologists do on a regular basis, since there is a wide variety of tasks that they are responsible for. As I study my topic this year, my goal is to gain a considerable amount of knowledge about the procedures and general tasks typically performed in interventional radiology as well as to get close-up experiences on the daily routines of an interventional radiologist.
MISSION STATEMENT
My mission is to work diligently and to put forth all of my effort into achieving my goals of learning about the real-world experiences of an interventional radiologist, networking and building my professional portfolio early in my career, and eventually to surmount all of the obstacles on my journey to becoming a physician.
