In this inaugural episode of The Joys of Radiology, host Dr. Gautam Agarwal sits down with renowned educator and radiologist Dr. Marc Gosselin for a wide-ranging conversation on what truly shapes a great physician.
From training at McGill University, the University of Vermont, and Stanford University to decades of teaching and mentoring, Dr. Gosselin shares hard-earned wisdom on learning to see rather than simply memorize, questioning medical orthodoxy, preventing burnout, and why your first years in practice can be the most transformative of your career.
Most importantly, he delivers a message every trainee needs to hear:
“The residency doesn’t make you good. You make yourself good.”
