他的一个同事来到美国突破重重困难考过了试
因为英语不好分数不高结果 只 申请到放射科
令人扼腕叹息
谁会知道今天放射科如此热门

发帖数: 1334 | 5 Very true. My professor (who has worked in Rads for 30 years) told me that
by today's standard he could not get into radiology.
I have met a lot radiologists and residents and seems they're very satisfied
with their career choice.

So try to find any type of connection if possible. Otherwise, many program

发帖数: 1334 | 12 Thanks teabao. Yes for AMGs most programs don't require Step2 CK and CS.
Columbia is a top medical school. 80 programs? Not for other less
competitive specialties.
Actually my goal is not reading films in a dark room. I like to use my hands
to do interventional procedures. Both radiology and general surgery will
lead to that route through a fellowship. Some people choose radiology for
lifestyle reason. I enjoy my surgical rotations very much and don't mind
working harder. I'll pay more attention |

发帖数: 1334 | 13 Yes Rads is very tough for IMGs. Looks like you got a good start, and good
luck to your application and interview.

发帖数: 52 | 14 Hi Eric,
Thanks for the information.
Can you give some your opinions about diagostic radiology and radio onclolgy
? |
e*****a
发帖数: 1334 | 15 Both are great fields. Radiation Oncology is even more competitive because
only a small number of positions are offered, for example in 2009:
Diagnostic Radiology 1,095
Radiation Oncology 156
Research experience in Radiation Oncology is very important, so the "
connection" to the people in that field. One student at my school didn't
match two years ago and he spent one year on Radiation Oncology research. He
finally got a position in the 2009 match.

发帖数: 1334 | 21 Update: During interview, a very good surgery program on east coast said
that they received about 20% more applications this year. Looks like the "80
-hour rule" makes a surgery residency less "scary" for many people. There
are many fellowship options available for surgery. For this program,
residents have a great chance to do a fellowship if they want. |

I am interested in Radiology too and will apply for next year. You are
absolutely right that it is tough to get into Rad/Rad Onc and there is no
guarantees. But I believe you will get it eventully and you deserve it!
