Meet a CMH provider Margeaux Berroth, MD, CMH Imaging Services QWhy did you choose your medical specialty? “I was initially attracted to becoming a radiologist after observing the rapid evolution of the field during my time in medical school, compared to other specialties I was curious about. I appreciated the constant reliance on real-time problem-solving and utilization of visual-spatial reasoning, procedural skills and critical thinking necessary to practice. During the course of my training, I came to really appreciate the critical role our specialty plays within the medical care team and in patient outcomes.” QWhat do you enjoy most about your job? “I really enjoy discussing patients’ cases with ordering providers and being able to see and take care of patients in the Breast Imaging Department. “We, as radiologists, play a critical role in the diagnosis, treatment and management of disease across all medical specialties in patients of all ages. The depth and breadth of our knowledge base, both in clinical acumen and imaging interpretation, is unparalleled. “Compared to other medical specialties, radiologists can ‘see’ anywhere between 50 and 200 patients per day. It is both an incredible privilege and an honor to take care of patients in this manner, while being helpful to a physician, provider or clinical team. To make such a daily impact is incredibly rewarding!” QWhat does person-centered care mean to you? “For every study I read, biopsy I perform or patient I am seeing in the clinic, I endeavor to treat each one knowing there is a whole person with a life beyond the images I see. Perhaps they are the parent of a young child at home, a member of the community working to help others, or a retired spouse or friend to others. That is person-centered care in radiology.” Take a closer look Visit columbiamemorial.org/imaging to learn more about Imaging Services at CMH.
