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

By

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

I got into the Rad Tech program!

By
I just want to share with you that I finally got into the program at our local community college and i’m starting this summer. For context, I’m already 30yo with a prior BS degree and decided on a career change. During the pandemic until this semester, I took my time to take all the pre-reqs and GEs required while working. I also volunteered at a hospital for over a year. It was optional due to COVID, but I still did it to get the brownie points. I finally applied last March 2023 and received good news last Friday. The program is based on a pointing system, so I think having good grades really mattered. It was my first time applying and the only program I applied to. I didn’t know it was possible to get in on your first try because of all of the stories I’ve been reading, so don’t lose hope because it’s possible! Wishing everyone who’s applying this year good luck. You can do this! If you have questions, I will do my best to answer them 😊 also if you have tips on how to survive this ...

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/
