Richard’s Answer

I chose to become a physician because I have many family members who are physicians and it looked like a field in which I find job satisfaction. However, I did not truly become passionate about the field of medicine until my third year of medical school during clinical rotations. That was the first time I saw an image guided procedure. I was fascinated by the intersection between medical imaging and treatment. I decided that I wanted to become an interventional radiologist. Now I get to perform image guided procedures every day including angiograms, TIPS, radioembolization of tumors with Y-90, and thermal ablation of tumors.

Yuan’s Answer

It is not easy, I would say.

The best way is to shadow the people in the profession of your choices. Medical field is a big category, you probable need to detail it, i.e, do you want to be a nurse, a physician, a lab technologist, an so on, which you can find out first before you choose who you would like to shadow. After you made the decision, you can shadow, compare, and make you decision.

Good luck!
