Yea man I never went to class either left me a lot of extra free time too cause instead of people going to class then studying at night I would just have to study. I will say that the personality of a radiologist are diff though in that rads are much more laid back while in general surgeons are a little high strung. I was totally committed to orthopedics till I found rads and never looked back. You definitely wont get bored in radiology. A step 1 ~235 is definitely possible to match but that may leave you in community program unless the rest of your app really stands out.Originally Posted by AntonLaVey

people say surg or rads would be a perfect fit for my strengths and personality.......my only fear of rads is boredom, i would love to be in your position. i def don't wanna end up in a small program, with a low volume of cases. I'd imagine a lot of rads is self directed learning, something i've mastered in med school so far...i never show up to class
