We are still screening the applicants for the first year of residency training for the next year. Looks like our incoming chief resident (duh, you automatically become chief resident at our institution since there's only one radiology resident accepted every year...) R.J. got his wish... the next resident will be female since the three who are undergoing screening right now are all female... The other three residents (R.J. will be the lone male resident then) will be from hereon dubbed as "R.J.'s Angels".

I've always been a teacher at heart (I remember drawing a teacher way back in second grade when asked about what I wanted to be when I grow up), and both my parents have taught, too. (Mama-grade school English, Papa-college level business management/accountancy math subjects), so I enjoy showing the applicants the day-to-day lives of the radiology resident...Can be boring, not too stressful, but a lot of technology and equipment to master. We also are asked to lecture the third year medical students, which, though an extra job, and the need tio travel to the university, is secretly something I have grown fond of.

Initially, I agreed with R.J. on his choice for a future co-resident, but now that the second applicant is rotating, I'm again weighing things in mind...

Whoever it is, I hope she sticks through the thick and thin of four years so that there won't be anymore rotation problems....
