Abstract

The informal components of education can shape a person's capacity to contribute. Such informal components might include cultural backgrounds, work experiences, and extracurricular pursuits. To appreciate the synergy between formal and informal education it can be helpful to explore a particular case of someone who actually combined the two to make the whole more than the sum of its parts.

Keywords: Informal education; formal education; life experience; professionalism; radiologists; radiology.
