In this episode of The Joys of Radiology, host Dr. Gautam Agarwal sits down with Dr. Erin Gomez, Assistant Professor of Radiology and Program Director of Diagnostic and Molecular Imaging Residencies at Johns Hopkins, for a conversation about building a meaningful life and career in medicine.

Before becoming an award-winning radiologist and educator, Dr. Gomez was an engineering student working with NASA contractors at the Kennedy Space Center. What followed was an unexpected journey into radiology, where she discovered a passion for imaging, education, mentorship, and leadership.

Together, they explore what brings joy to radiology, how great educators inspire the next generation of physicians, the evolving role of AI in radiology education, and the importance of creating a sustainable career without sacrificing the things that matter most outside of medicine.

From teaching anatomy and mentoring residents to balancing academic medicine with family life, Dr. Gomez shares thoughtful insights on finding purpose, embracing growth, and leading with empathy. Most importantly, she leaves listeners with a simple but powerful piece of advice:

"Run toward fear."

In this inaugural episode of The Joys of Radiology, host Dr. Gautam Agarwal sits down with renowned educator and radiologist Dr. Marc Gosselin for a wide-ranging conversation on what truly shapes a great physician.

From training at McGill University, the University of Vermont, and Stanford University to decades of teaching and mentoring, Dr. Gosselin shares hard-earned wisdom on learning to see rather than simply memorize, questioning medical orthodoxy, preventing burnout, and why your first years in practice can be the most transformative of your career.

Most importantly, he delivers a message every trainee needs to hear:

“The residency doesn’t make you good. You make yourself good.”

This episode is packed with insight for medical students, residents, fellows, practicing radiologists, and anyone navigating purpose, growth, and professional fulfillment in medicine.
