DR vs IR vs Both

Rising M4 here! I’m planning on applying IR in the fall, but am confused by the changes that have come with the new integrated programs. I have tried finding information elsewhere, but it’s just difficult because they are so new.

Is it typical to apply to both IR and DR? What about applying to both at the same program? The match rate in 2018 for IR was only 58%, so I feel like even the best applicant would be obligated to apply for both.

Also, is a surgery year required for IR or is an IM prelim year acceptable? I understand there is value in still being in the OR for that year, but based on my surgery and IM clerkships I feel like I actually might learn more doing IM for a year.

Onetonline salary search change?

Did this change? I am having a hard time finding the same lists I saw 2 months ago. https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-2034.00#AdditionalInformation https://www.onetonline.org/link/localwages/29-2034.00?st=OR&p=hourly I used to be able to see wage by area and sort it by state and see the differences per state and per city in every state. I can't seem to find this same list anymore. I can see a bell curve but I can't sort by state or wage or anything.

Question regarding ultrasound

Hello radiologists, I have a quick question regarding ultrasounds of the scrotum. (Not asking for medical advice just wondering about something). I’ve done an ultrasound of the scrotum and the radiologist only took pictures of the right side of the testicle and then the left side but not in between so my question is, do ultrasounds show all “angles” of a testicle or does the device need to be held at various areas to show a full testicle? Because if only one side of the testicle is seen then wouldn’t the other side be as important in diagnosing something?
