Podcast background

The Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) CRASH! Podcast is all about Clinical Radiology Academics Speaking Honestly! Join Tom Turmezei, consultant radiologist in Norwich and the RCR Roentgen Professor from 2020, for discussion with individuals that are passionate about medical imaging and research. From trainees starting out, to established NHS consultants developing their own research programmes, to academics and researchers from all areas of imaging, we explore the motivations, challenges, and rewards of research. Whether you are looking at a career in radiology, want to get more involved with research, or want to discover more about imaging research across the UK, then this is something you can't miss. Plus we peek behind the mask of our guests with our very own CRASH! Test…

Episode 14 - I is for International - “In this episode we hear from Giulia Benedetti and Jina Pakpoor, both radiologists now working in London but from very different yet equally fascinating backgrounds. In our discussion, we hold up a mirror to UK academic radiology training by reflecting on their experiences in Italy and the U.S., looking at how research is ingrained, given time and money, and mentored as part of overall training and a strong departmental ethos. We also talk about the personal challenges involved in an international move, and why they had both been inspired to explore this in the first place.”
