How To Match Into RADIOLOGY - Everything You Need To Know

- 👋🏻 How to match into diagnostic radiology residency - everything you need to know. I broke down this video into things that you do during your first two years of med school and then things to do in third and fourth year. Just start out med school by studying hard, acing the USMLE, joining some radiology interest groups and societies, and doing some research. Then finish third and fourth year up with acing your rotations, doing a rads rotation, getting your letters in line, writing a good personal statement, applying broadly, and interviewing well and you should be good to go! Below you will find more reading that should be helpful too. Best of luck and while you’re reading this don’t forget to leave a comment and smash the like and subscribe buttons ;)

NRMP = National Resident Matching Program (this is used to create your rank list in January-February)
ERAS = Electronic Residency Application Service (this is used to apply to programs in early fourth year)
VSAS = Visiting Student Application Service (this is used to apply for away rotations)
USMLE = United States Medical Licensing Exam (aka “boards”)
In case it wasn’t clear in my explanation about applying to internships, when you apply to radiology residency you also have to secure a first-year residency position - AKA an “internship.”
“PGY” = post graduate year 1, 2, 3, etc.
“Internship” = first year of residency i.e. PGY1
“Categorical” = means that a program includes a PGY1 internship
“Preliminary” = the program is only for a one year PGY1 internship i.e. internal medicine, surgery, transitional year
“Advanced” = program starts in PGY2 year and does not include a PGY1 internship i.e. most radiology programs

This is so helpful! Thank you for sharing!
No problem Syed!
Great video. I love the idea of joining certain organizations depending on your favored specialty
Def helps show interest
I love this video as well! I am an aspiring radiologist in Portland and I am working on some of the prerequisites to get into a good university. Becoming a radiology tech in my two year goal I hope to obtain after I get my Assosiates of Applied Science degree, thats the one I'm going for currently! I am doing really well on all my classes because their all inportant. I really love this video. :)
Nice!
Stumbled across this video after applying to University of Minnesota on VSAS! Hope I'll get to meet the residents and faculty there in a couple months!
Awesome!
Thanks for this video bro!!
Ofc
Great job !
Thx Amin!
Extremely helpful. Thanks
Of course
I've been enjoying your videos! Are you able to speak on your experience with radiology PA's? I have a huge interest in radiology as a future specialty, but I'm unsure if I want to go the med school route or PA route. I'm concerned there's less opportunity as a PA in radiology. Ty!
Glad you’re liking the videos :)
Within interventional radiology there’s plenty of opportunities for PAs, not so much in the other diagnostic radiology subspecialties. I’ve heard of some private practices training PAs to read plain films but never seen it firsthand. Hope that helps!
I’m a sophomore in high school with big dreams to become an interventional radiologist or a neuroradiologist. I know it’s a competitive field but I will make it. I will keep my grades up, get into a good college, and an amazing med school (either UPenn’s Med school or John’s Hopkins)
I’m an MS2 interested in Radiology. I love imaging and diagnostics but I also enjoy patient care and interacting with patients. Are there any subspecialties in Diagnostic Radiology where there is more patient contact?
IR and breast have the most patient contact. Body, MSK, and neuro still have a good amount of patient interaction via fluoro/procedures
@@drparisis great! Thank you so much.
Ofc!
Hello Dr
Thanks for your advice
I’m wondering if I can apply only for preliminary & TY for this incoming cycle
And next year apply for advanced DR? Or I have to apply in the same match cycle for both preliminary & advanced ?
Us /IMG with home country residency in radiology with 243 CK score
Any extra advice /tip for match? Ty
Hey Dr. Parisis, can you update this video to what you think I can do, as an incoming DO first year medical student, to match into radiology now that STEP is pass fail. I just got into my program, but I feel a bit lost on what I can do, as well as WHEN I should do things like research. This video has greatly helped me out in this with your timeline breakdown. Thank you!!!!
Ray
Hi Ray, with Step 1 being pass/fail now I think the main things you can do are 1) focus on getting the best Step 2 score that you can and 2) take advantage of networking i.e. away rotations, research, conferences, etc.
The summer between M1-M2 year is a good time to get some research done, at least that's what I did. I also was able to get some projects done during early 3rd year. Good luck!
@@drparisis Hey Dr. Parisis, thanks for the tips. Do you think an incoming student can use research presentations, posters, and publications earned before medical school for residency applications or must they all be earned during medical school?
I have a publication as well as 2 posters at conferences from my junior year through my M.S program.
Thanks!
@@rheniusantonyraj8562 I would definitely put those projects on your residency application
I've been a high school teacher the past 5 years, mainly working with special needs students. I'm a little burnt out working with the general public and with parents, and feel a lack of intellectual stimulation in my current career. I'm considering changing careers to medicine, and I have a particular interest in diagnostic radiology since I want to work more in the background, have a great work-life balance, and be able to be more selective with who I spend my time with.
Radiology is the best
Any advice on increasing your odds of securing an ESIR position in a DR residency?
Second this ^^
My understanding is that it’s a supply/demand thing, some classes (like mine) have 0 people interested in ESIR while others have more than the allotted spots (our residency has 2 spots per year)
Hallo,
I am a radiologist in Germany and I want to take the USMLE exams next year, I would like to know if I need to do residency in America again? for how many years So that I can participate in the American board exam.
I think the ABR has a 4 year pathway for people who have completed residency outside of the states
What about now that step 1 is pass/ fail?
Probably not helpful for DOs
@@drparisis I️ totally agree there. I️ think we will see it impact non-MD applicants and international medical students. That seems to be the consensus on that front. However, I️ meant, what do you recommend people do to stand out now that step 1 is pass/fail?
Also, recently came across your channel. I️ subscribed. I’m not necessarily vying for radiology, but it’s nice to see the various insights and learn more about the field. I’m still considering options as I️ start M1 in the fall.
I think the main thing to do is crush Step 2, and of course do some research, away rotations, and take advantage of any connections
Any advice for considering RADS as a MS3? Is it too late for research 🥲
Definitely not too late for research, try to do a case report like a Case in Point
