Balancing work and FRCR preparation: Tips for Busy Professionals

Looking to establish a successful career in clinical radiology in the United Kingdom? The Royal College of Radiologists (FRCR) Fellowship is the key to making your goal a reality. To obtain this prestigious designation, you must pass the Royal College of Radiologists’ rigorous three-part test, FRCR Part 1, Part 2A, and Part 2B.

Studying for the FRCR exam while working full-time can be difficult. However, with the right approach and mindset, you may strike a balance and succeed.

Here are some quick ideas to help you manage your time and enhance your radiology skills.

Set clear goals

Familiarize yourself with the FRCR exam syllabus and focus on key topics such as anatomy, physics, and clinical radiology. Break up your study periods into short, doable assignments. Setting daily or weekly goals will help you stay focused and avoid last-minute stress.

Plan a study schedule

Schedule your study sessions around your work schedule. Even one hour of dedicated study per day can make a significant difference. Use your weekends or days off to conduct extended study sessions and practice tests.

Use the correct study materials

Select high-quality FRCR textbooks, question banks, and FRCR online courses. These will help you focus on the most important issues while also improving your radiological abilities. If you have a hectic schedule, online classes with recorded sessions can help.

Study on the go

Spend your free time wisely. Listen to radiology podcasts while traveling, go over notes during lunch breaks, and practice questions whenever you have a few minutes. Small daily efforts can result in substantial development.

Seek help

Speak to colleagues or mentors who have passed the FRCR tests. Join study groups to share thoughts and stay motivated. Learning from others’ experiences might help you streamline your planning and concentrate on the most critical aspects.

Prioritise self-care

To keep refreshed, make sure you get adequate sleep, eat nutritious foods, and take small breaks during your study sessions. Taking care of your physical and mental health can help you stay energized and focused during your preparation.

With careful planning and regular effort, you can balance employment and FRCR exam preparation. If you intend to take the FRCR examinations, StudyFRCR can help you with our short- and long-term preparation courses. To learn more, please contact our staff immediately.

Top 5 Career Prospects for radiology technician

[nationwidechildrenshospital]

"My favorite part of what I do is being part of a team that helps medical professionals diagnose and treat children. I love being able to use my knowledge and show patients that x-rays aren't as scary as they can seem! Nothing beats getting to meet all kinds of children, listen to their stories, and see them say 'cheese' when I am about to take their x-ray."

By Emily Strasser | August 9, 2023

At the theater where I saw Oppenheimer on opening night, there was a handmade photo booth featuring a pink backdrop, “Barbenheimer” in black letters, and a “bomb” made of an exercise ball wrapped in hoses. I want to tell you that I flinched, but I laughed and snapped a photo. It took a beat before I became horrified—by myself and the prop. Today is the 78th anniversary of the bombing of Nagasaki, which killed up to 70,000 people and came only three days after the bombing of Hiroshima that killed as many as 140,000 people. Yet still we make jokes of these weapons of genocide.

Oppenheimer does not make a joke of nuclear weapons, but by erasing the specific victims of the bombings, it repeats a sanitized treatment of the bomb that enables a lighthearted attitude and limits the power of the film’s message. I know this sanitized version intimately, because my grandfather spent his career building nuclear weapons in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, the site of uranium enrichment for the Hiroshima bomb. My grandfather died before I was born, and though there were photographs of mushroom clouds from nuclear tests hanging on my grandmother’s walls, we never discussed Hiroshima, Nagasaki, or the fact that Oak Ridge, still an active nuclear weapons production site, is also a 35,000-acre Superfund site. At the Catholic church in town, a pious Mary stands atop an orb bearing the overlapping ovals symbolizing the atom, and until it closed a few years ago, a local restaurant displayed a sign with a mushroom cloud bursting out of a mug of beer.

Oppenheimer does not show a single image of Hiroshima or Nagasaki. Instead, it recreates the horror through Oppenheimer’s imagination, when, during a congratulatory speech to the scientists of Los Alamos after the bombing of Hiroshima, the sound of the hysterically cheering crowd goes silent, the room flashes bright, and tatters of skin peel from the face of a white woman in the audience. The scene is powerful and unsettling, and, arguably, avoids sensationalizing the atrocity by not depicting the victims outright. But it also plays into a problematic pattern of whitewashing both the history and threat of nuclear war by appropriating the trauma of the Japanese victims to incite fear about possible future violence upon white bodies. An example of this pattern is a 1948 cover of John Hersey’s Hiroshima, which featured a white couple fleeing a city beneath a glowing orange sky, even though the book itself brought the visceral human suffering to American readers through the eyes of six actual survivors of the bombing.

The Oppenheimer film also neglects the impacts of fallout from nuclear testing, including from the Trinity test depicted in the film; the harm to the health of blue-collar production workers exposed to toxic and radiological materials; and the contamination of Oak Ridge and other production sites. Instead, the impressive pyrotechnics of the Trinity test, images of missile trails descending through clouds toward a doomed planet, and Earth-consuming fireballs interspersed with digital renderings of a quantum universe of swirling stars and atoms, elevate the bomb to the realm of the sublime—terrible, yes, but also awesome.

A compartmentalized project. The origins of this treatment can be traced to the Manhattan Project, when scientists called the bomb by the euphemistic code word “gadget” and the security policy known as compartmentalization limited workers’ knowledge of the project to the minimum necessary to complete their tasks. This policy helped to dilute responsibility and quash moral debates and dissent. Throughout the film, we see Oppenheimer move from resisting compartmentalization to accepting it. When asked by another scientist about his stance on a petition against dropping the bomb on Japan, he responds that the builders of the bomb do not have “any more right or responsibility” than anyone else to determine how it will be used, despite the fact that the scientists were among the few who even knew of its existence.

Due to compartmentalization, the vast majority of the approximately half-million Manhattan Project workers, like my grandfather, could not have signed the petition because they did not know what they were building until Truman announced the bombing of Hiroshima. Afterward, press restrictions limited coverage of the humanitarian impacts, giving the false impression that the bombings had targeted major military and industrial sites—and eliding the vast civilian toll and the novel horrors of radiation. Photographs and films of the aftermath, shot by Japanese journalists and American military, were classified and suppressed in the United States and occupied Japan.

The limit of theory. Not only is it dishonest and harmful to erase the suffering of the real victims of the bomb, but doing so moves the bomb into the realm of the theoretical and abstract. One recurring theme of the film is the limit of theory. Oppenheimer was a brilliant theorist but a haphazard experimentalist. A close friend and fellow scientist questions whether he’ll be able to pull off this massive, high-stakes project of applied theory. Just before the detonation of the Trinity test bomb, General Leslie Groves, the military head of the project, asks Oppenheimer about a joking bet overheard among the scientists regarding the possibility that the explosion would ignite the atmosphere and destroy the world. Oppenheimer assures Groves that they have done the math and the possibility is “near zero.” “Near zero?” Groves asks, alarmed. “What do you want from theory alone?” responds Oppenheimer.

Can the theoretical motivate humanity to action?

One telling scene shows Oppenheimer at a lecture on the impacts of the bomb. We hear the speaker describe how dark stripes on victims’ clothing were burned onto their skin, but the camera remains on Oppenheimer’s face. He looks at the screen, gaunt and glassy-eyed, for a few moments, before turning away. Americans are still looking away. As a country, we’ve succumbed to “psychic numbing,” as Robert Jay Lifton and Greg Mitchell call it in their book Hiroshima in America, which leads to general apathy about nuclear weapons—and pink mushroom clouds and bomb props for selfies.

On this anniversary of Nagasaki, the world stands on a precipice, closer than ever to nuclear midnight. The nine nuclear-armed states collectively possess more than 12,500 warheads; the more than 9,500 nuclear weapons available for use in military stockpiles have the combined power of more than 135,000 Hiroshima-sized bombs.

If Oppenheimer motivates conversation, activism, and policy shifts in support of nuclear abolition, that’s a good thing. But by relegating the bomb to abstracted images removed from actual humanitarian consequences, the film leaves the weapon in the realm of the theoretical. And as Oppenheimer says in the film, “theory will only take you so far.” Today, it’s vital that we understand the devastating impacts that nuclear weapons have had and continue to have on real victims of their production, testing, and wartime use. Our survival may depend on it.

Thinking about a career as a doctor like "hm. Radiology or oncology yes"

Then I remember this fucking guy

[izvmimi]

hi mimi!! did you always wanna do radiology? did you stumble into it? or did it grow on you as you were exploring medical careers?

tbh my dad one day was like hey you like them damn games (i was playing league) how do you feel about imaging as a concentration (i was originally considering anesthesia or endocrinology going in)? and so i did radiology as my first elective and fell in love with it although i had a whole relapse when i did my sub internship and said maybe i should stick with internal medicine but by the end of my subinternship i was like nope i’m too bad at handing off my patients for this

[studywithsare]

Welcome to my blog!

To whomever may be reading this,

Hello! Welcome to my blog! I am 22 years old and an aspiring Diagnostic Medical Sonographer! I'm making this blog to document my journey from ground 0 to being a registered sonographer.

Allow me to talk a bit more about myself and why I want to go into this profession. I have been undecisive about what I want to pursue for about 4 years now. Ever since I left high school I have felt lost. I tried multiple majors, and none of them felt like they were the right fit for me. I was scared of going into medicine for several reasons, so the idea of going into medicine never really crossed my mind after that. I was scared, because I didn't know. I didn't know what types of jobs were available in the medical field, except for only a few roles. After some time and getting to know myself better, I thought hey, maybe me and medicine would be a good fit. I like to think of myself as smart and disciplined. I have a natural knack for science and math. I believe myself to be caring and empathetic. I am an introvert though, so that was a trait of mine that made me have doubts. I couldn't see myself being a nurse or doctor. I looked into some medical fields I could do with not much schooling, as I am paying out of pocket. 2c year degrees like nursing, respiratory therapy and radiology/sonography came up. The imaging careers caught my attention and from what I hear from others, it is a good medical career to pick if you are an introvert. I love kids, so I instantly thought of working with expecting mothers, or even specializing in pediatrics.

That's how I got here. Right now I'm trying to find a program, but they are so hard to find. I find some trade schools who offer programs, but they aren't accredited with CAAHEP. I find some programs but they have a huge waitlist and will not be accepting new applicants. Doesn't leave me with any nearby options it seems. I may have to go to a school kind of far. I'm still going to be doing research on programs near me, see if maybe I can find one or maybe the full ones start accepting applicants. In the mean time, I plan on getting myself into the hospitals. Someone I saw on tiktok said they would recommend entry level jobs, specifically if you can get one related to imaging. I've looked at the hospitals in my area, and even these entry level jobs have some requirements like BLS. I thought I had my BLS, but I only have CPR/FIRST AID/AED. So, my first step is getting my BLS, that way I can start applying for some entry level jobs and get experience while I wait for a program. The American Red Cross will be having some classes in my area and the beginning of next year, so I'm going to sign up for the class. It's 92 bucks, but hey, I want this! I want to be a sonographer! I want a good job that makes me happy. I was gonna sign up for the class tomorrow, but why wait? I'm gonna sign up right now!!!

A quick guide on what different titles mean in my posts

(Since education AND healthcare systems vary around the world).

Medical Student (4.5-5 years)

You can get into medical school straight out of high school. College degrees do exist, but they are not the norm, not for medicine, and not for any career, tbh.

You fist 2-3 years are mostly theory. Calculus, chemistry, biology, anatomy, histology, embriology, physiology, pathology, physiopathology, microbiology, pharmacology…. That period end with semiology, and you get a Bachelor’s Degree in Medical Science.

Then, for the next 2 years, you have your clinicals, in which you spend half of the day in the hospital, with patients, and half the day in class, but definitely more focused on patient care and management.

Med student in clinicals = baby of the team (most of the time).

When you finish, you get your Academic Degree, Licenciate in Medicine.

Medical Intern (1.5-2 years)

No longer a student, you are now in your professional practice. Although you are technically still in med school in your university, you can say goodbye to classes, since you’re now a worker.

Probably bottom of the food chain, and probably does all the paperwork that nobody wants to do, but it’s a period where you gain a lot of independence and knowledge through work.

When you finish, you get your Professional Title, Médico Cirujano, but also need to pass a national test (EUNACOM) in order to be able to work.

Once you are a Doctor, you can work with that, or you can specialize.

Resident Doctor

A doctor, who is both working and studying towards a specialty.

Staff

Doctor who is on charge of a team. Tends to be an specialist.

Other titles that may cause confusion:

CNA: I use CNA to refer to TENS (Técnico de Enfermería de Nivel Superior). Technical degree (2.5 years). Takes care of patient’s basic needs, vital signs, may administer non-prescription medications.

Scrub tech: An specialized TENS. Takes care of the surgical instrumental and the sterile field in the OR.

Other TENS specializations: (that aren’t shared with other workers) Ambulance paramedic, anesthesia tech, trauma tech (takes care of plasters).

Medical Technologist: University degree (5Y). In charge of handling the machines and advanced technology equipment. They have 5 sub-specialties: ENT, ophthalmology, morphophysiopathology, blood bank and radiology.

Kinesiologist: University degree (5Y). They encapsulate both Physical Therapy and Respiratory Therapy.

Midwife: University Degree (5Y). Kind of like L&D nurses. Also in charge of reproductive health (i.e inserts IUDs, tests for STIs). Can assist births without a doctor if uncomplicated.

Other professionals that may not need further explanation:

Nurse.

Nutritionist.

Speech therapy.

Occupational therapy.

Do you have any thoughts about who would Corazon, Doflamingo, the crew, Luffy etc be in the modern AU?

I DO hehe but I'm up for suggestions for Usopp, Franky and Robin ㅡ for the modern au, I have so far as follows:

Corazon is absolutely an elementary school teacher who has Law come in for career day and brags about him and the kids ask if Law is his son (he says yes, and Law almost cries).

Doflamingo absolutely is involved in the rise and fall of global economics/world trade and stock investments. Shady as fuck, definitely guilty of some less than legal things, but nobody's been able to get proof yet.

Penguin and Shachi are either RNs or instrument techs for Law or radiology techs. They're also his wingmen (he doesn't want them to, but alas) and try constantly to get him a date.

Ace is an EMT ㅡ Marco is his partner, but Ace also has a way of calming down both young patients and older ones. Always has some kind of stuffed animal in the back of the rig, makes silly jokes, generally does his best to keep patients calm.

Sabo works in dispatch for Ace 'n Marco ㅡ also helps clean out the rig if he needs to, also helps get paperwork turned in when Ace inevitably forgets.

Luffy i haven't decided whether to put him as a firefighter or have him as a pediatric nurse because he, like his older brother, has a way of putting kids at ease and showing them the hospital isn't so scary.

Sanji is absolutely works in a Michelin starred restaurant that has months out in booking, but as far as where exactly he is is up for debate because he's multifaceted.

Zoro I'm also not sure with because there is the idea that he either teaches Kendo or he's a personal trainer

Nami is absolutely a meteorologist with a higher percentage of accuracy bc she knows how weather patterns work.
