Hey everyone,
I'm trying to understand the advantages and disadvantages for Community vs. University programs specifically for Diagnostic Radiology. As far as I know, if you're trying to pursue academics or a fellowship, then you need to go into a university program.
Are there any benefits then of going to Community programs?
Do community programs close any doors for IMGs?
If I want to both practice and teach, must I go to a University program?
I'm an IMG, but my score on Step 1 (241) was a few points higher than the 2016 NRMP-reported IMG average for matched applicants (239), so I believe I have a good chance of getting into a community program and maybe a shot at low-tier university programs... maybe.
