Abstract
While there is no precise formula for a great radiology resident, certain attributes and achievements may herald success during training. We briefly review prior works exploring predictive factors and evaluation metrics of top resident performance, noting that those focusing on non-cognitive attributes are over twenty years old. As radiology practice and education has substantially evolved in the interim, we revisit this topic from a contemporary perspective. Inspired by the literature and our own personal experiences, we suggest that the following non-cognitive traits are invaluable for radiology trainees: communication expertise, workplace adaptability, self-awareness, tech savvy and genuine interest in one's individual work and greater community. These characteristics should be highlighted by applicants, sought by selection committees, cultivated by mentors, evaluated by programs and valued by colleagues.
