The mentorship program
RIG pairs med students with radiology residents, to give interested students mentors to explore the field, learn about radiology, and guidance on the application journey.
How the pods work
Every student is matched one-on-one with a resident mentor. Those pairs are grouped into small pods, usually two students and two residents and often a junior and a senior, so you get a close mentor plus a small group to lean on.
What do we do?
Whatever you want! Mentors help with career planning, applications, and getting you experience, but we encourage everyone to make it their own. If you're looking for ideas, see our pod bingo board on the right. Get three in a row, and the entire pod wins a Higher Grounds gift card!
Pairings run in cycles, and sign-ups are closed at the moment. New students can join at the mentorship event in the fall. Join the listserv to stay up to date.
By specialty
Society resources for each side of the field, plus a student guide for interventional radiology away rotations.
Research
Where to find radiology projects and the faculty behind them. Reach out to someone whose interests line up with yours.
Societies to join
National societies are free to join as a student and a good first step. Membership gets you journals, meetings, and a sense of the field beyond the reading room.
Away rotations
Planning a fourth-year away rotation, and help covering the cost.
