Mobile lung cancer screening vans are on the scene in many parts of the U.S. -- serving sectors where such care is often unavailable. Martha Menchaca, MD, PhD, spoke with #ACRBulletin 🔗bit.ly/4ihyQTD @LaurenGroner @koolkpMD @DO_Radiology @pfccdirector @MaddiWulfeckMD
Mobile lung cancer screening vans have been created all over the country to bring screening care to those who need it but may not be able to get it at their local hospitals. Martha Menchaca, MD, PhD, spoke with the #ACRBulletin about these efforts as we quickly approach Lung Cancer Screening Day on Nov. 14. 🔗 bit.ly/4ihyQTD @DSmethermanMD

Sharing more findings from our recent publication in Academic Radiology on radiology residency selection in the era of program signals.
Two key themes stood out:
• Final ranking: 91.8% identified overall interview impression among the most significant factors shaping the final rank list.
• Preference signals: 87.1% rated Gold/Silver signals as highly considered or essential for interview selection.
Together, these findings highlight an important distinction: signals help shape who gets the interview, while interview performance plays a major role in where applicants ultimately rank.

Success in radiology practice requires non-clinical skills and knowledge that residency doesn't always prepare you for.
