WBC and/or Voxel-
As the resident experts on radiology, I was hoping I could ask you a few questions. (I apologize in advance if you have addressed these before. I am truly lost without the search function!)
I read somewhere that to match in radiology, you should only schedule one or two radiology rotations for your third and fourth years. The rest of the time should be spent in Medicine, Surgery, etc... to get a good grounding. If this is the case, I am wondering how you would do a number of audition rotations to check out other programs? It seems like you would want to check out several other places.
Also, I know that this has been asked a million times before, but what is the final word on doing research in medschool -- is it required these days to get into a radiology residency? (Not necessarily a top-tier institution, but to stay in a certain desirable location.) Is the summer between 1st & 2nd year better than the elective research rotations that you can take 3rd and 4th year?
Any advice? Thanks!
