Maybe, maybe not. A new graduate would obviously be well trained (but
perhaps without sufficient experience). A radiologist trained 10 or
15 years ago who has not kept his continuing education current is a
whole 'nuther matter. A OB who HAS trained in modern radiology technology
is certainly more qualified than the latter and at least equal to
the former.

If the radiologist is also trained in OB/GYN, why not?
