Hey Jenny,
Although I'm not a radiologist, I would still like to help!
2. It really depends but it's around 14 years. This includes four years of undergrad, four years of medical school, and six to seven years for residency and additional training (source: https://www.sirweb.org/learning-center/ir-residency/)
3. O*Net mentions that radiologists need to be well-versed in writing, critical thinking, and decision-making. As you continue to work in this field, you will be able to master those skills (https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-1224.00)
