What certifications/licenses/courses can have the biggest impact for Radiologist Physicians?
Youngmin Kim: Laboratory courses, arts and apprenticeships, basically anything that requires in-person training got hit hard. Some portions were mitigated along the way, but the general quality and accessibility of such courses declined in general due to many restrictions imposed on campus.
What general advice would you give to a Radiologist Physician?
John Colclough: Be patient and stay informed. Many performers think their career is about the work in the rehearsal hall or in performance-not so, the real work is in the management of your business. Being an authority of WHO, WHAT and WHERE is key. WHO are the players in your market? The directors, actors, casting people, producing organizations, etc...these are who you need to know-your network. WHAT opportunities exist in your market? The theatres, video companies, universities (if you have an MFA you may be able to teach a class or two), Improvisation groups, any opportunity that allows you to grow your brand is worth your attention. And finally, WHERE are the opportunities-knowing your community and having a sense of how each company fits into the fabric of the community. Having a sense of where the company resides both geographically and virtually (web sites) and having a solid knowledge base of details of each company can inform your marketing tactics as well as provide you with specific details unique to each organization. Careers develop over time and keeping expectations realistic over the first year can be challenging. Be practical and methodical in your approach: save money (there's never enough), find a place to live (the best you can afford), find a side hustle (you're going to need money and routine), find out the lay of the land (WHO, WHAT, and WHERE), develop your skill set (take a class and meet colleagues), go to productions, screenings, workshops, document your growth (keep a journal or calendar to track your progress), celebrate your successes and be patient with your stumbles-Hard knocks are the best teachers!
What skills stand out on Radiologist Physician resumes?
Dr. Stephen Weeks: Generally, employers like to see "hands-on" skills for graduates. So, lab-based classes, internships, volunteer work (e.g., in hospitals or other health care settings), and experience in research labs look great on resumes. Because biology is such a diverse field, I cannot point to specific skills for the entire range of biology. Generally, however, having good writing skills will almost certainly be helpful for any biology career.
Are there any particularly good places in the United States for Radiologist Physicians to find work opportunities?
Dr. Stephen Weeks: I do not know the answer to this question. Healthcare is the fastest growing job market in biology, and such jobs are located primarily in larger metropolitan areas across the country.
Are there any particularly good places in the United States for Radiologist Physicians to find work opportunities?
Greg Crutcher: I am not sure about other regions, but it does seem like urban areas of Texas currently have more opportunities than other regions.
What type of skills will young Radiologist Physicians need?
Greg Crutcher: Young graduates will need to have flexibility and will need to multitask. I think today therapists are being asked to do more than ever in regard to treatment. Technology in the field is moving so quickly and it is important to keep up with all those changes.
What experience really stands out on Radiologist Physician resumes?
Philip Chang Ph.D.: Generally, when hiring postdocs in physics, we look at people with the right kind of experience and knowledge to plug into our research programs. So we look for knowledge, skills, and publication record.
What are the best companies to work for a Radiologist Physician?
Brian Thomas Ph.D.: A degree in physics can open doors to working at companies in a variety of industries. Research and development teams at aerospace, computer, software, telecommunications, and other technical-focused companies employ people with degrees in physics at all levels. People trained in physics also work in other areas, including journalism, finance, even the entertainment industry. I don't know that I can recommend any specific companies, but generally, any company focused on technical solutions will likely be a good fit.
