Clarification on Rads residency year(ass

[Spoogy98]

Members don't see this ad.

ok, so I understand it as 5 years, with the first being a transitional year.

So would I be applying to a program with a 5 year package deal? (ie accepted to both at the same institution)

Or do I apply first for a transitional year, and then once again apply for Rads?

or can I simultaneously apply for both, complete my transitional year somewhere different from where I would be doing my actual Rads residency.

just trying to figure out how this works.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

you apply for both the post-graduate year 1, pgy-1 (prelim med/surg/transitional year) and pgy2-5 (radiology residency) at the SAME time. Some programs have it combined where you rank just one program for years 1-5, but majority are separate.
