How much does the reputation of your residency impact the job hunt?

By

Currently applying DR and I'm very conflicted on how my rank list should be.

Almost all of my interviews have been at academic programs. I hate describing them by tiers since it's so subjective, but I believe 1 program is considered a top 10, 2 others are in the top 20, and then the rest are solidly in the middle.

That said, I have one community program that I loved. Includes a great transitional year (minimal moving for my family), large medical center so they see comparable pathology/volume to academic centers, and I just generally felt a better vibe with the residents/PD - it was a lot more laidback, which much better suits my personality.

My question is, how much does going to a good community program over a much more known/highly reputable program (eg. duke, pitt, mayo, etc.) impact your eventual job hunt? My ideal job would probably be in PP, but I'd like to be in a major city for the sake of my family and I'm not sure how much having a name brand behind my training would elevate me or not. I also enjoy teaching and could see myself doing one of these hybrid PP/academic jobs in the future as well.

One radiologist I spoke to said the last place you train at is the one that matters the most, and this community program does match their residents at solid fellowships. Do you agree/disagree with that? Thanks

Onetonline salary search change?

By
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. Thanks! submitted by /u/xxDamnationxx [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/h9oqup/onetonline_salary_search_change/

Radiology program

By
I’m from New York looking to attend a Rad tech program. I work for Northwell and recently came across a flyer for John Patrick University. it is an online AS program with clinicals in person (which my job will allow me to do) It seems as if this program is not accredited by JCERT but the school is accredited by ACCSC. I reached out to the director of the school and also the arrt and they say that there would be no issue taking boards. I haven’t really heard of anyone going through online program so I wanted to make sure everything checks out. Since this was being advertised at work I couldn’t see why they would put something that wouldn’t be accepted out.
