She’s Helping Her ‘Small Community’ by Volunteering
Blog post courtesy of: American Board of Radiology It’s a challenge to find subject matter experts from smaller fields who can volunteer as ABR question writers, Angoff committee members, or oral examiners. Nuclear medical physicist Jen Stickel, PhD, is an exception. She has filled all three roles for her specialty since becoming a volunteer in 2016. “It’s a small community,” she said. “It takes a certain kind of person to write appropriate questions or participate in the oral exam process. Once you find one of those in any discipline, you want to hang onto them as long as they’re willing and…
