Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out here with some hope, though I know the odds are slim. I’ll be starting a preliminary surgery year this July, and I’m deeply committed to pursuing a future in Diagnostic Radiology.

I went through the 2025 Match cycle, gave it my all - strong scores, solid letters, research.. but still went unmatched in radiology. I was fortunate to SOAP into a prelim surgery spot and I’m incredibly grateful, but my heart remains set on radiology. It's the field I see myself growing in, contributing to, and building a life around.

I’m now looking for any potential openings for an R1 (PGY-2) radiology position starting July 2026. I know these spots are rare and usually not advertised, but if anyone hears of something through your own programs, colleagues, or word of mouth, I would be truly grateful for any leads.

Feel free to message me directly if you prefer. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

Wishing the best to everyone in this journey.

Thread 'Switching residencies after successful match'

Jun 6, 2025

I am a USMD who recently matched TY + DR this year. Due to some recent life circumstances (parent diagnosed with cancer) and months of reflection I have come to the realization that I would prefer to be in a patient facing specialty (IM). A large part of the reason I chose to apply DR was due to significant burnout during medical school but the last few months have made me remember my motivation for going in to medicine and now I’m fully committed to the idea of wanting to switch.

My question is would I still be competitive for a decent IM program as I would be considered a reapplicant...

Hi everyone,

Making one last post before I shift my focus fully to the next match cycle. I’ve been searching extensively for any unfilled or upcoming R1 (PGY-2) Diagnostic Radiology positions starting July 2026, but haven’t had any luck so far 🙁

If anyone hears of a spot opening, even months from now, I would be extremely grateful if you could message me. I’m happy to share my CV privately with any programs or contacts.

Thanks to everyone who has shared information in this forum, it really does make a difference for those of us still searching.
