Faculty host mentoring event for medical students
This fall, Women Professionals in Radiology (WPR) co-chairs Erica Knavel Koepsel, MD, Jade Anderson, MD, and Leslie Nelson, DO hosted Radiology Roundtable: Jeopardy & Mentorship Night. The event was in partnership with the UW School of Medicine and Public Health’s Radiology Interest Group (RIG), which Venkata (Vinny) Meduri, MD and Matthew Lee, MD lead.
Medical students engaged with the mentors in small groups on the following topics:
- A Day in the Life of a Radiologist with Edwarda Golden, MD
- Embracing the Future/AI with Joseph Tang, MD
- Radiology Subspecialties with Erica Knavel Koepsel, MD
- Global Radiology Opportunities with Mai Elezaby, MD
- How to be a Great Radiology Resident/Optimize Radiology Residency Apps with David Kim, MD
- Private Practice vs Teleradiology vs Academics with Jason Stephenson, MD and Shawyon Shadman, MD (Madison Radiologists)
About 40 students attended the event, which also included a “speed networking” component for the faculty to share their experiences and insights with the medical students. Residents Allison Couillard, MD and Matthew Elissa, MD also participated, sharing their perspective and advice for the students as current residents.
Following dinner and the mentorship sessions, the entire group gathered to play a case-based Jeopardy game, where prizes for the final team included a gift card to their choice of retailer. The students enjoyed competing against each other and learning more about the field of radiology!
