Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology

"Everyone knows this program is malignant though we'd like to elaborate. A malignant program is a program that treats its residents unfairly, has a toxic unproductive learning environment, pits residents/groups of residents against each other, and does not listen to resident feedback. I am/we are fourth year residents at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology and we see disturbing trends. The Mallinckrodt is not so much malignant as it is racist. For white residents, things are fine and the sky is pretty for the most part. Some toxicity bleeds through. For the minority or first generation resident with no connections who seem vulnerable, they are harrassed, intimidated, bullied, many times by the weakest, most insecure faculty, and predominantly by the program director (Dr. Gould) who is a part time interventionist who needs to keep up an appearance that she is doing her job. If you are not a white person, please avoid this program. Until at least the program director is fired. And on top of that you have the narcissistic immature self declared vice chair of education (Bhalla) going arnd harassing residents he doesn't like. The end result is a chaotic unprofessional situation no one wants to be in."
