Resident Experiences
Katherine Cavallo Hom, MD
Favorite aspect of residency:
MCW Radiology Residency offers a wide range of opportunities to its residents. Whether you are interested in academic medicine, private practice, and/or research, there are many opportunities available.
Advice to R1s:
Do not forget to take care of yourself, mentally and physically. Burn out is real. There are so many people around you who need you and care about you. We are all going through/have gone through what you are experiencing and you are not alone.
One thing you love about WI:
Wisconsin offers great autumns. We have made apple picking in the fall an annual event!
Interesting fact:
I am adopted and grew up in Scottsdale, AZ.

Bryce Bodell, MD
Favorite aspect of residency at MCW:
I love having the confidence of knowing I will be very well prepared for not only fellowship, but for any practice setting out there because of my training at MCW. With a wealth of resources within reach and a large number of approachable faculty from a broad array of individual backgrounds, I have been able to learn the kind of versatility required for today's practice climate.
Advice for PGY1 residents:
Remember to always take care of your own mind and invest in yourself first. This is a long journey with innumerable obstacles to overcome. Overcoming those obstacles will be far more enriching if you maintain the clarity to learn from them. It is all too easy to let yourself become overwhelmed and panic. When you give yourself room to step back for a moment, you will find that you are more than capable of handling even the most stressful components of residency.
One thing you must try while living in Wisconsin:
Door County! Do yourself a huge favor and go to Door County in early Fall. It is a wonderful place and even just a weekend will leave you feeling like you went on a big vacation. It has something for everyone, from wine tasting to world-class smallmouth bass fishing along its epic shoreline.
Interesting fact about yourself:
I had the finite opportunity to serve as a Ranger in 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment in the U.S. Army. I got to see humanity in its rawest form while learning each day to go beyond my previous day's limitations. In fact, it was through these experiences that I discovered my passion for medicine. Prior to that you could not have possibly convinced me I was going to become a physician. It's amazing how some things can completely reshape us.

Stephen Johnston, MD, and Co-Chief Resident 2018-19
Favorite aspect of residency at MCW:
MCW radiology provides subspecialty level training in every aspect of radiology. There is no aspect of training that I feel deficient in. I know I can enter any practice environment and thrive because of the skills I have developed. While I think these qualities are the most important aspect of a training program, my favorite aspect of residency is the collegiate environment amongst our group of residents.
Advice:
Do not be afraid to exit your "comfort zone” and challenge yourself on a day to day basis. This is the best way to learn and improve.
One thing I love about Wisconsin:
Summer in Wisconsin is unmatched. The weather is great and there are many things to do. Examples include music festivals, boating, beaches, Brewers tailgating, bar crawls, and outdoor activities.
An interesting fact about myself:
My great great grandfather started a nationally acclaimed and locally revered chocolate and cookie company (Johnston Candies and Chocolates) in the early 1900s in Milwaukee. The company was sold in the 1960s, but I still have great memorabilia.
