Preparing for Radiology Physics Boards

While not a financial post, the radiology physics boards is what I've been preparing for the past few months. I find radiology to be one of the most intellectually stimulating and technologically fascinating fields in medicine but it's kind of a drag that we have three sets of boards: physics, writtens, and oral boards.


Overall, preparing for physics boards was not as painful as I had imagined. Still, I can't wait to get it over this Thursday so I can go back to studying good old radiology sans the physics and focus on loves of family, blogging, fantasy football, and college football.

For anyone interested or preparing for the test, here are some of my observations:
  1. Do not read the Bushberg physics book as your primary text as it is too dense and contains too much unnecessary information.
  2. The Huda text should be your main source and references to Bushberg should be made as needed for clarification. As for Huda-- read it, love it, live it!
  3. Go to a physics review course if your program does not provide one. I went to Master Huda's course which I thought was fantastic.
  4. Do as many recalls as you can get your hands on, but only from the last four years or so. Older recalls are outdated as radiological technology advances so quickly.
  5. Power through the Radiobiology Syllabus questions from the RSNA, as this topic is stressed on the exam and the syllabus is a high yield source for questions.
