What implications does a low-tier DR residency have on career prospects?

I was devastated on Friday to open up my match results and see I ranked at my 13th of 18 ranks for DR. I go to a low-tier MD school but had an overall excellent app and I do not know how this happened. To give you context for how bad my program is, my PD reached out and basically asked how I ended up there. A chief resident texted me later and told me he understood if this wasn't my first pick but congrats. This was all unprompted, I never indicated to them I was unhappy. It's an academic program but really a private practice group with no prestige/pedigree, minimal research, etc.

My goal is PP, but I would like to end up in a major city for the sake of my wife/kids. I feel like a total and complete failure ending up here and like I just destined myself to undesirable jobs because my program is so unimpressive.

I got into the Rad Tech program!

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?

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/
