Register for JICER today.

@EmoryRadiology @ER_Rad_Hanna @EmoryMedicine @ASER_ERad @emoryhealthsci @emoryhealthcare @brainbanker Congratulations Tarek! I’m 100% sure you are going to be fantastic in that role!

T2 - I love that I get to see how my interpretations affect patient care in the short term. I facilitate rapid action by the clinical teams to help them treat patients more efficiently and effectively. As @uyedajen said, we save lives. It’s not hype. It really happens!

@uyedajen @ASER_ERad Committee positions are given out annually by the President, and the VPs. Let them know you want one. Also, talk to the current chair of a committee you want to be on

@ASER_ERad How do you get involved in committees? How do I become a member? Do all #radres get free membership to ASER? #ASERTweetChat

Since we have ASER presidents on the tweetchat, how does one get involved with the annual meeting @ASER_ERad #ASERTweetChat #radres #radiology

@momukhtar Besides that. There are deeper learning opportunities in ERad fellowships…service, tech, advanced interpretive skills, etc.

What advice would you give - especially in terms of elective rotations - to #radres considering overnight #EMRad as a career after graduation? #ASERtweetchat

@momukhtar You need a variety of tools in your chest. Residency sets you up nicely, but doing a fellowship in ERad is definitely the easiest route to a career in this field. Fellowship positions are up for grabs, as there typically are more available positions than applicants.

@uyedajen @ASER_ERad Ask and ye shall receive. It’s a matter of getting to the social events at a meeting, showing interest in getting involved and volunteering to help the society advance it’s missions.

@uyedajen @BrighamRad @BWHERad We’re still doing 1 attending at a time shifts with a handoff after 8 hours. When we can hire more people, we’ll likely transition to overlapping staggered shifts too.

We have 7 shifts a day, heavily weighted towards the evenings. We work a mix of day, evening, and night shifts. Shifts are 8-9 hours in length @BrighamRad @BWHERad #ASERTweetChat

What are some common shift hours people work and what are the shift lengths? #ASERTweetChat

@MalikAsadMD @uyedajen @KrystalArcherMD Well said!

T4: Most of us do some night work though the amount is variable and dependent on individual practices and on the radiologist’s appetite for night work. Our practice has 7 shifts a day over a 24 hour period and most of us work all of the shifts 7days/week #ASERTweetChat

@uyedajen We do 8 hour shifts at my place.

@uyedajen @MalikAsadMD Me too. I have difficulty working 4 shifts in a row. Fortunately, having to do more than that in a row is very rare for me.

@MalikAsadMD I couldn't do a 7 on schedule regardless of how many days off I get. IMO 7 consecutive night shifts is not sustainable #ASERtweetchat

@KrystalArcherMD @uyedajen Yup. Like me!

@uyedajen Lol! We also have some older ones that keep up with us just fine #ASERTweetchat

T5: Emergency radiologists tend to be youngish energetic radiologists who are passionate about the subspecialty. We have common interests and similar personalities that foster a sense of comradery and overall happiness #ASERTweetChat

@MalikAsadMD @uyedajen That totally depends where you are. I think that kind of model is typically in night positions.

@suzchongmd @KrystalArcherMD @uyedajen @TraumaRad @ASER_ERad I hate reading rooms, and spend all of my time in the trauma center, reading off a PACS station side by side with EM and ACS docs. I go in trauma bats for level 1 admissions. It’s a blast! They love the extra special service!

@KrystalArcherMD @uyedajen @TraumaRad @ASER_ERad Some of us go into the emergency department and correlate the physical exam with our studies! Others read right in the trauma bay @emradguy and are invaluable to the ED service 💪 #ASERtweetchat

On broader level, ERads also share a basic common view - we are here for our patients when they need us (ie, not the next day or after the weekend) - that reaffirms our what it means to be "a doctor"

@ASER_ERad T4 - shift work. In my institution we do 8 hr shifts. Most of mine are 7a-3p, some are 3p-11p. I like them both. There is plenty of free time to spend with my kids or doing other things I like to do. #ASERtweetchat

The 4th topic in the #ASERTweetchat tonight is: T4: What is the typical day in the life of an Emergency Radiologists? Make sure to include T4 in your response!

To all of my friends. I hereby promise to NOT post a picture of me getting the COVID vaccine. I WILL get it, but I’m not going to make you look at yet another photo of someone getting the shot...you’re welcome!

@rlevenso @fhberger @EmergTraumaRad @ASER_ERad @suzchongmd Awesome intro of an incredibly amazing Icon in the field. Thank you @fhberger , @EmergTraumaRad I absolutely LOVED the Founders’ session.
