I think I understand the charts, but I'm just in disbelief so I would like some confirmation.
For Diagnostic Radiology, charting outcomes in the match 2016: For U.S. Allopathic (MD) Seniors (Those who have not taken a gap year for research, ie. graduated on time after 4 years of medical school) there were 652 matched, 9 unmatched. This is a 98.6% match rate.
Basically almost every Allopathic Senior who wants to match DR, will match DR (98.6% match rate). Am I interpreting this correctly? If so, then why does everyone say radiology is competitive to match? Also, for those 9 people who were unmatched in diagnostic radiology, did they match into another specialty that they ranked as another distinct specialty, or did they just not match into anything at all?
However, if you look at the NMRP data from 2017, for PGY-2 positions in DR, there were 909 U.S. seniors who applied. Only 667 matched. This is a huge discrepancy from the charting outcomes in the match data with 98.6% matched. Can someone explain?
Thanks!
