16 unfilled spots (15 advanced, 1 categorical) for diagnostic rads this year.
45 in 2016 (35 advanced, 10 categorical)
150 in 2015 (137 advanced, 13 categorical)
74 in 2014 (58 advanced, 16 categorical)
65 in 2013 (51 advanced, 14 categorical)
86 in 2012 (75 advanced, 11 categorical)
41 in 2011 (33 advanced, 8 categorical)
6 in 2010 (4 advanced, 2 categorical)
Clearly we are seeing radiology's competitiveness increasing substantially over the past 2 years. And it's not just that PD's are being smarter (more realistic) in their interviewing and ranking. The % of PGY2 spots being filled by US Seniors has been increasing as well. 58% of spots filled by US Seniors in 2015, 72% in 2017. Still not to where we were at in 2010 when 84% were filled by US Seniors.
Of course, I don't think this decrease in % of US Seniors is all due to a decrease in competitiveness since there are so many DO's going into radiology now. 10-12% of matches are DO, compared to a measly 3-4% in 2010.
