I'm seeking advice on what to do with the conflicting advice I've acquired on the topic. My school has advised me to pursue 4-5 auditions in radiology.
However, I've seen some advice on some slightly older sources regarding the number of audition rotations one should complete to be competitive for matching into radiology-diagnostic residency.
Their advice was to complete only one or two radiology auditions in 4th year because it comes across as a "red flag" that the student is lazy and advised to complete other rotations (not auditions) in more foundational medical clerkships to build a better foundation of clinical knowledge and expertise.
I also received advice from a preceptor to not do a bunch of auditions because they don't help as much as they let on and they are costly and that they will "lie straight to your face that they want you and never even rank you."
I try to take everything with a healthy level of skepticism, which is why I'm seeking further advice.
Thanks.
