The republican party will never nominate him... They like the crazies--Rick Santorum, Marco Rubio, Mike Huckabee...
Mitt Romney would be a tough sell... he is not going to sell reducing the deficit by cutting top earners tax to 20% like he proposed in the last election.
Honestly. I don't think we can cut taxes any further NOT without huge decreases in spending. I respect Ben Stein on this issue. You can only do a few things - (cut or raise) taxes or (cut or raise) spending. The GOP are fools in that they cut taxes (whatever that's fine) but they either keep spending the same or raise it. There's a reason income inequality has INCREASED in this country where people in the middle class or lower feel the deck is stacked against them. In that respect I liked the Clintons bc they had one of the best and fairest economies for good reason - Clinton raised taxes initially in 1992 and spending cuts and welfare reform was instituted at the same time. I'll take the Clinton years over the incompetent buffoon who was elected into office now.
You are right about that... It seems like cutting taxes has become a religion for the GOP... This is the main reason that I am so skeptical of them... They just spend like the democrats while they also want to cut taxes..
no good deed shall go unpunished
That's a great analogy
I am sure people can say that for FM/psych as well. It seems like you have to be a bad US applicant to not match into rad when 181-210 step1 has a almost 90% match rate...
I get what you are saying... What I am trying to convey here is that people should stop saying radiology is competitive when the # of spot = the number of applicants... I am watching the job market closely since I am very interested in rad, but I am not willing to do a fellowship since I am a non trad student. If the job market does not change by the time I am applying for residency, I will proceed with plan B.
Maybe. I will have to weight my options when the time arrives.
Well IR can never be replaced. You have to have a human on site.
Wow, I can't believe the ABR would purposefully would do that to their own diplomates. They're the only specialty that does this I believe.
Not the only one. Just the easiest one.
Wrong. Rads and Path were one of the only few who let their graduates be board certified prior to finishing residency.
No other specialty makes you take your initial board certification exam nearly a year later from the time you finish your residency June 30th. You take your certification boards w/in the month or 2 after your residency is over.
It's more like the surgical fields now.
Except until you take your boards you are "board-eligible". In Radiology, bc the certification exam is nearly one year later, you can't really apply for jobs bc of the tight job market where there will be someone else who has already taken his certification boards and he gets the job. So you're essentially forced into a fellowship to wait it out and take your boards. In surgery that isn't a problem as there are more than enough jobs available.

Considering this is the first crop of board eligible graduates just hitting the market, it's too soon to really make any real analysis. Soon the BE will be the norm and not a big deal.
Tell that to Saurabh Jha.
Some common ones are also missing like MSK, Body, Mammo.
It's two separate but related issues.
Yeah, I have no idea why they all aren't listed. Maybe they all don't have a certification exam (just the ABMS ones):
I was using IM and Derm as examples, but I was saying less than 12 months.
Sorry, I meant most specialties don't make you take it 12 months after you graduated.
