Will lack of research hinder me in attaining a decent radiology residency?

I'm a 3rd year medical student interested in radiology. I'm hoping to match at a decent program in a major city, preferably in the midwest.

Things I have going against me: DO student, zero research or ECs of any kind.

Things I have going for me: 250 step 1, top quartile of class in preclinical years, all honors in 3rd year so far, ~8 years of work experience prior to med school (if that counts for much).

I am trying, and failing, to get any kind of research going. I just don't have any connections, none of my rotations are at academic places where I can meet people, and my cold emailing has netted me precisely zero leads. At this point, I do not expect to have found and done any sort of meaningful research prior to applications this year.

Will this greatly hinder me in attaining a residency at a decent program? I care less about prestige and more about quality training in a bigger city (wife/kids that I don't want to limit in a small town). Are there other things I should be doing now to try and bolster my application? Thanks for any thoughts and suggestions

AI for radiology - A survey

Hello folks! We are a group of students from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University (Sweden). We are conducting a short survey (it should not take more than 10 minutes of your time) to evaluate an Artificial Intelligence framework for evaluating medical imaging and, in particular, the effect that explainability can have on clinicians' attitudes toward it. We welcome anyone who interacts with medical imaging to take our survey, so please, feel free to do it even if you are still a student or an intern! If you know someone who works in the field, please, pass them the survey. It would help us greatly. https://bit.ly/RTEX_survey Thanks in advance to all of you! submitted by /u/francozzz [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r2ratp/ai_for_radiology_a_survey/
