4th year US MD, failed to match neurosurgery, did not SOAP into anything (probably bc my app was so specific to nsgy). Going to delay graduation for med school by 1 year and apply to radiology in the Match 2021. What should I do before ERAS opens for submission? Looking for guidance, friends!
I'm thinking of taking an IR rotation (already took DR) and getting involved in some radiology research but what about away rotations? Should I include that I did not match in my personal statement or just write about my interest in radiology? If I want to settle down as a private practice (diagnostic or interventional) radiologist in the midwest or south, should I truly pick a community program for the geography or still try at notable academic centers (emory, duke, cleveland clinic, vanderbilt,, utsw, uab, mayo, mallinckrodt/washu, etc)?
Stats: 250+ Step 1/2, 4 peer-reviewed pubs (in nsg), total pubs/posters/pres = 13 (in nsg), clerkship grade high pass in IM, Surgery.
