Most of people decide that they want to be a radiologist in medical school because the love to help people and they like working with people.Or it was the complet oppesit that they like to be in a dark room and look at the x-ray and think how they can help them. Or some people love the challenges that come with it. But they all really make the dicision when they come in contact with the filed.



2. "Data from the 2004 National Physician Survey were used to determine when current
Canadian radiologists made their decision to pursue a radiology career and to
determine which factors were most influential in their decision. Most respondents
reported having made this decision during their clerkship years of medical school
(32.7%) or after a period of time in practice (25.4%). The most influential factors
involved in this decision were perceived intellectual stimulation and workload flexibility
or predictability. These results provide insight into the trainee’s decision to pursue
radiology and may be useful to those recruiting for radiology as well to medical students
considering the field."
