Current R1 in a top 30 DR program trying to figure out what the hell I want to do. Being that I'm in the limbo year between the DR/IR combined residency and the end of one year IR fellowships, I'm not sure what my best options are. I love doing procedures, but I'm not sure how much I LOVE the...

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE | DECEMBER 19, 2016 At RSNA 2016, the key buzzwords were “deep learning,” “machine learning” and “artificial intelligence.” Vendors and major academic centers are developing a wide array of artificial intelligence neuro networks to aid radiologists in clinical diagnosis...

So I will be applying IR this coming year and I've read a lot about this prelim year requirement. More specifically, some programs require a surgical prelim which is fine but others "strongly encourage" or do not specify. My questions are: 1) How necessary is it to do the surgical prelim year...

Current MS3, really struggling with specialty choice. Did a search for Gas vs. Rads and many of the threads were very outdated so I figured I would start a new one. Just looking for advice from people who have struggled with a similar decision. About me: MD in west, low 230s step 1, mostly...

Hello, I am a Radiology PD who was asked by an SDN administrator who is friend of one of my former fellows to participate in this thread. My understanding is that there may be at least one other PD (by the handle of "Radiology_Advisor") who will participate for now. Here is the request I...

Hello. I am interested in swapping out of my program (academic well respected hospital in the Bronx, New York) to another program with greater opportunities in IR So that our years match - I am current in my prelim year starting this radiology position, R1 PGY-2, in July 2017. Thanks.

Hey everyone, I'm trying to understand the advantages and disadvantages for Community vs. University programs specifically for Diagnostic Radiology. As far as I know, if you're trying to pursue academics or a fellowship, then you need to go into a university program. Are there any benefits...

Hello! Currently in my intern year will be starting my R1 PGY2 year in diagnostic radiology in Long Island, New York City. Looking for anyone who like to swap positions, preferably anywhere in the west coast. Some unfortunate family circumstances came up and am looking to swap to be closer to...

After finishing radiology training in the Philippines for 4 years I plan to go abroad (New Zealand/Australia/Europe/Dubai). So I have researched and my best chance of practicing medicine abroad is to train residency here in my home country Philippines, and later on take a fellowship program...

So I got the bad news today. Didn't match Ortho in the Osteopathic match. Thought about doing EM and applied to it, but decided way late that I'd rather scramble than commit to a life of ER medicine. So I am stuck in a seriously bad place. Still haven't accepted any DO positions such as TRI's...

Hey all, I'm currently trying to put together my rank list but am having some difficulty. I am originally from NYC and really liked NYU. However, a part of me has always wanted to move out west, and I liked UCLA as well. I know that these are both excellent programs of similar caliber...

Hey guys! I'm doing an away rotation in Radiology. The away will be after my home rotation. I was wondering if its a big deal if after my away rotation I ask to switch the elective to something else in the same department? Ex. lets say my away is for a IR but I really liked Peds rads. Can I...

Hey guys. I wanted to know if IR programs want Step 2 CK to be taken before you apply. I know the general strategy is to take Step 2 if your Step 1 was low to try and improve, and to delay Step 2 if you did well on Step 1. Does this also hold true for integrated IR? I got a solid Step 1 score...

Hi all, I'm pretty interested in the incorporation of deep learning into radiology. I've setup a blog to help track the emergence of deep learning companies, research articles and expert discussions all with a focus on radiology. My first post is a survey of the landscape of companies...

I'm very interested in sports medicine imaging. Are there any MSK fellows here or people who have done MSK fellowship that know if there are certain programs that are more geared towards this aspect of MSK radiology? I'm only an R1 so I have time to look around. I'd just like to get an idea or...

I'm having one hell of a time trying to order my rank list. Location is semi important, but so is my significant other's preference (couples matching into peds). I also know that I want to do an IR fellowship. I have narrowed down my top 6 to: UPMC Cincinnati U Illinois - Chicago Einstein (PA)...

Hey guys! Echoing similar posts from the past, what are your opinions on the following list of radiology programs (DR). Thoughts based on quality of training and your "feel" of the program if you have interviewed at any of them (some are blending together as interviews are ending) - Thanks...

Could some one enlighten me if a J1 to H1b swap during residency is viable? Specifically, I'm looking at likely H1b for a radiology position as a PGY2 and J1 for my intern year. Does the two-year home country requirement apply in this case? I can't seem to find much about this anywhere. I...

Hi there, I'm currently in my intern year and will be starting PGY2 (R1) radiology residency in a program in Manhattan, July 2017. Looking for academic/affiliated programs on West Coast, in Northeast (preferably Philadelphia region) or large cities. Please message me if interested in swapping...

I'm an MD and would like to get my Radiography Supervisor and Operator Permit and want to know if there are any study materials for this exam. Seems to be a paucity of information on this exam online. I was wondering if anyone can help guide me in the right direction. Thank you

I am in need of purchasing Osborn's Brain as seen here: I am willing to purchase at the $399 sticker price should anyone have a copy. Alternatively, I run a book scanning business and am willing to trade this book for $1,500 in free services. On average a 1,000 page book costs $30 or so. Thats...

Hi, I know many people ask this question... But I really have no clue. I´m an IMG who graduated in mid 2015 and have been working in a private clinic for radiology ever since. I have +270 in the step 1 and aim for a +270 in the step 2ck which I will take in a couple of months. I may get a case...

Hello! My friend is looking for veterinary residencies in Radiology. I heard an intern at ASEC mention a radiology residency (possibly offered by a VCA), but we haven't been able to find it on the match or just from googling. If anyone has information or knows of any other potential sites for a...

I think the answer is a definitive yes!!! In order to break the chains of dependence, you need the experience of making independent choices as an attending radiologist does. The only way to get that experience is call. There is an article called Call- A Rite of Passage that explains the reasons...

I think that a fellowship should be based upon your personality type and what you want to be doing for the rest of your life. But I think that market trends should also play a role in your decision to choose a fellowship. There's an article with some of this information called How to Choose a...

Any pgy 2 gen surg categorical residents (preferably at a level 1 trauma center) wanna swap for R1 radiology spot at a great hospital in New York?

Is it possible for an IMG to moonlight internally during fellowship, particularly for radiology fellowship? Any experience, info is highly appreciated.

Hey all, I graduated college in May with a few pre reqs left to cross off.. Truthfully I've since then questioned if Medicine was for me so I'm only taking one class at my local CC while working at my local hospital. I'm a "patient care assistant" and I'm told I will be placed in the radiology...

Hi all, MS4 looking at prelim intern programs prior to starting an Interventional Radiology residency. Technically, I can do a Transition year, prelim med, or prelim surgery program. It's my understanding that intern year generally sucks no matter what you do (hours, scut work, etc.). Of...

So, I applied to radiology last year and did not match. I am planning on dual applying this year into internal medicine and radiology. However, I do not know what to put on my ERAS experience page. Since not matching, I have some research experience in radiology. And, I did some externship in...

DO here applying for ACGME radiology this year. Wondering if anyone can shed some light as to how many transitional/prelim programs they applied to/interviewed at and any advice with the process? I have heard conflicting opinions on the matter. At the risk of sounding lazy I have been...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can provide input on diagnostic radiology in the veterinary world. Is it as isolated from the patient as it is in human medicine? In other words, do they almost exclusively interpret radiographs and simply instruct the primary care veterinarian on the diagnosis...

Hi. I'm an international student and I have quite recently begun to seriously consider radiology (in the US, that is). I'm a year 2 and have 4 years until graduation. This gives me a lot of time to prepare for applying abroad. I know that radiology is a highly competitive field, but I feel like...

I'm becoming more set on going into radiology however, I don't know where I really stand in terms of competitiveness so far (Just started my 3rd year). I know I won't get any top programs but I'm curious if I'd be competitive for some midwest university programs? USMLE step 1 = 227 COMLEX level...

I would like to get some opinions here. I am at the point where I am starting to think about my specialty. I do believe I am competitive enough to match into good residency programs. I am thinking about orthopaedic surgery , rads and anesthesiology ( then go into pain management). Ortho is...

Hello all. I am currently a 4th year in New York and I'm in the process of filling out residency applications. Up until a few weeks ago, I was not sure about which specialty to choose. I am still torn between a few, but because I've always been interested in physics, I found radiology may be a...

Better and more accurate question is; When will AI replace radiologists? This is really happening. Look at that TED talk, here; Is this really happening? Should we concerned about it? I am :(

So I'm a 4th year DO student looking to apply for DR residency but I'm not too sure of my chances of matching and if I should risk it. I've talked to a few new residents at different programs and they said if I apply broadly I should have a good chance, but I'd like to know what you guys think...

Despite how awesome radiology is, there is a definite disparity in diversity when compared to other medical specialties. Here is one of my favorite quotes on the subject of diversity in radiology by Dr. Lightfoote and colleagues ..." There is a disconnect between vocal support and quantifiable...
