Radsresident Book Poll

book poll

So, the results from my informal survey of radsresident readers are back! And, I thought it would be interesting to first compare the results of the Saint Barnabas residency book poll to the Radsresident book poll results today. Here we go!

First-year radiology residents from Saint Barnabas and the Radsresident survey agreed that Felson’s Principles Of Chest Roentgenology, Lawrence R. Goodman, Core Radiology,  Jacob Mandell, and Fundamentals of Body CT, W. Richard Webb, William E. Brant, and Nancy M. Major are the most popular

Second years from both groups agreed that Core Radiology,  Jacob Mandell is the most popular.

Third years from both groups agreed that Core Radiology,  Jacob Mandell is the most popular.

Unfortunately, I did not get enough 4th years to reach statistical significance to compare with the original poll.

Overall, the most popular book is (drum roll please……..) Yes, you guessed it. The top choice for both polls is Core Radiology,  Jacob Mandell.

Lastly, I also added a few more categories for fellows and attending. Why not get their opinions too? At least, they have had some successful experience with residency!

Check out the results from my informal radiology book poll at the bottom of this blog in order of popularity for each residency year.
