Educational Background
Chest Radiology (X-rays and CT scans of the chest)
Nuclear Medicine (using radioisotopes to determine disease processes)
Notes to Mentee
"I like to keep things relaxed and low key so there's very low pressure to know anything. I'm happy to answer any and all questions regarding that we are reviewing, the process and requirements to get where I am, my opinions about the other medical professions, or anything else!"
- Undergraduate: Biology Major, University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida
- Medical School: University of Louisville School of Medicine (Kentucky)
- Residency: Internship at University of Louisville Hospital System, Louisville, Kentucky
- Diagnostic Radiology Residency, UCSD Health System
- First year of Radiology residency, currently rotating through core rotations including:
Chest Radiology (X-rays and CT scans of the chest)
Nuclear Medicine (using radioisotopes to determine disease processes)
Notes to Mentee
- Come ready to learn and ask questions!
- Few people fully understand what diagnostic radiology entails, so no prerequisite knowledge is needed.

Michael Taddonio
Educational Background
"[What shadowing with me would entail] depends on the student preference and date of shadowing, as my schedule changed every 2-4 weeks to a different division within the department. Students could shadow anywhere between 1 hour or a full day. Most of the day is spent interpreting or performing radiology studies (X-ray, CT, MRI, Ultrasound). Opportunities to watch interventional procedures could also be easily arranged. There are usually 1-2 lectures and/or multidisciplinary conferences each day. There likely would be little direct interaction with patients."
- University of Michigan, B.S. in Cellular and Molecular Biology
- Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine, M.D.
- St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, Internship
- University of California, San Diego, Residency - Radiology
- 4th out of a 5-year residency in radiology
- Currently applying for a fellowship position in interventional radiology
- Studying for board examination, in addition to daily clinical work

LIndsey Negrete
Educational Background
"If the mentee is searching for a hands on experience with significant patient interaction, then we probably would not make the best match. The mentee will however gain exposure to a number of individuals at different levels of training including medical students, residents, and attendings in a friendly, fun, collegial and fast paced environment while learning about CT, MRI, ultrasound, x-ray, and other imaging modalities used in the diagnosis of injuries and diseases ranging from cancer to trauma. For interested students (very optional), small projects or case reports may be available."
- Stanford University, B.S
- Brown University, M.D.
- Scripps Mercy San Diego, Internship
- University of California, San Diego, Residency - Radiology
- 1st out of a 4-year residency in radiology
- Interested in may radiology sub-specialty interests including women's imaging, cardiothoracic, body and breast
- Will pursue a fellowship after residency and possibly practice in academics
- Option to wear scrubs or business casual when shadowing
