In this episode, Dr. Doria shares her journey into pediatric radiology, reflecting on her experiences as a clinician and researcher in the field, as well as the impact of her diverse training background, including an MBA from MIT and a master's degree in epidemiology, on her professional development and leadership approach. We discuss unique aspects of pediatric imaging, including its focus on patient interaction and the gratifying opportunity to make a positive impact early in a person’s life. Dr. Doria provides insights into her research on enhancing efficiency in radiology training programs, including innovative solutions to address bottlenecks in resident and fellow research production. Lastly, she also speaks passionately about her advocacy for cultivating diverse leadership in radiology and implementing equitable hiring practices to close the gender gap in the specialty and beyond.
