Hello everyone!
I need some advice in regards to Radiology. So I have 4 Interviews; all of which I will rank. After this I have about 8 IM options; all which I've admittedly worked very hard for. However, I am certain, not because of the money, though of course that helps, that intellectually and socially radiology is best for me. My question is as follows; and it is a three part question/finished with a conclusion inquiry.
1. If I were to do a traditional year and during the same match session (in the case I did not rank into Rads but did into Traditional) and after my traditional placement; scramble into an (advanced) MD radiology spot (with a potential for reapplying next year for Radiology if Scramble doesn't work out - with the benefit of a great Step 3 Grade accumulated in the meantime) ; is this more or less risky than simply scrambling into a (categorical.)
2. In conclusion; If I love Radiology, love IM but fear cynicism and the bureaucratic implications of the field and think I might be happier in Rad, should I
Option 1. Drop IM &
A) Solo Scramble into -Categorical- Rads (without Traditional Year)
B) Traditional Year with Scramble into -Advanced- Rads with a potential re-application next year if that scramble does not work out?
Option 2. Hold onto IM and place the Traditional Option Last.
