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.”
