Done with FM residency thinking about Rads

[deleted542994]

So I’m a DO, let’s just get that part straight. I did one year of osteopathic internship and 3 years of FM residency, graduated ACGME and am a diplomat with the ABFM. But after practicing the field, I’m starting to realize it’s not cup of coffee. What are the chances of being matched into a radiology program after using up all the funding in the previous trainings?

@docconn What's up with asking for advice and giving like 0 useful info? Are you trying to remain anonymous? Do you have so little insight into the process you think you provided enough? Genuinely curious.

Here is my reply to your genuinely curious: I just reported you for condescending and unprofessional behavior.

I can help you with that (thanks search function):

2009 DO graduate.

USMLE Step 1 - 212/88 USMLE Step 2 - 182/78
COMLEX Level 1- 511/83 COMLEX Level 2 - 450/78

Scrambled into a TR but left without finishing.

Then got into a DO IM program, didn't finish intern year.

You're the one that asked for our collective advice. I'm an Attending radiologist and am happy with my decisions.

From FM to IM to speciality

I'm in my third year of a FM program, 2 months from graduation. I find that primary care is not my cup of tea, I had to take this residency because it was a back up. Before this I did one year as a transitional year. What, if at all possible, steps I should take to apply [and get into] an IM...

Post FP residency

So I goofed around... I did a TRI year and left halfway in between... then I did internal medicine hated it and left before completing 1 year. After that I sat on my butt for many years, then got into Transitional year, finished it... now in FP residency. Won't leave it, but don't want to be in...

Old DO thing. It was kinda like a TY year.

Get a VA job with the chill cush schedule, and spend the extra time playing with your kids. Time to drop this nonsense.
