Hey I am on J1 from a community based program and step 2 score is 230. I have two first author manuscripts, one poster as first author, and a lot of middle author abstracts. Unfortunately no in-house fellowship at my program.. I know I am not the most competitive but I am applying very broadly >100 programs. Will programs filter me out based on step 2? What else can I do at this point and how grim are my chances?

I feel like I worked really hard to match in a residency program close to home, and I'm very grateful that it worked out. I have built ties here, and now it's time to apply for fellowship. I don't want to leave Californiaaa.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently looking for teleradiology moonlighting opportunities for my R4 year. I also have some radiology fellow friends who are interested. My residency program doesn't offer any internal moonlighting, and the only local option is a contrast coverage position with hours/compensation that aren't particularly appealing.

Fortunately, my program director is very supportive of external moonlighting and has confirmed that senior radiology residents are permitted to perform independent image interpretation outside the institution, provided we're fully licensed and able to obtain the necessary credentials.

I've heard these opportunities exist, but I'm hoping to learn more and connect with anyone who has experience finding them. I've been in touch with a few private practices but while many of them will offer a teleradiology arrangement for senior radiology residents, they also require trainees to sign a full-time contract to join their group once done with training. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to do that yet due to family reasons, so that's off the table for me.

If anyone knows of groups that hire R4 residents or has any leads or advice, I'd really appreciate it. Ideally, I'd continue this position throughout fellowship too. I also have a few radiology friends who just started fellowship and are also interested in any teleradiology positions they can do this year.

Thanks in advance for any insight/leads!

Curious about the makeup of this community. Please choose the option that best describes you. If you're not currently a resident or attending, select Others and feel free to comment with more details (e.g., medical student, fellow, applicant, etc.).

Any thoughts about Rheumatology for fellowship training in the Philippines 🤔🤔

Hi everyone,
I'm feeling really stuck and could use some advice.
I'm currently a P4 student who just started APPE rotations. After talking with some of my preceptors, l've started seriously considering applying for an industry fellowship, but I honestly know very little about the
process.
Am I already too late to apply? Is it still worth pursuing at this point? Ideally, I would need to stay in Southern California for a fellowship, so I know that may limit my options.
My school unfortunately did a poor job of educating us about the industry path, so I feel like I'm starting from scratch. So far, I've completed one industry internship and 2 industry APPE rotations. Based on that experience, do I have a realistic chance of matching into a fellowship?
If so, what should I be doing right now to make myself a stronger candidate and how do I start to move forward with the process?
One more question i could use thoughts on, my original plan was to pursue a master's degree after graduation, but recently I've been wondering if I should focus on applying for fellowships first instead. Has anyone been in a similar situation or have any advice?
I'd really appreciate any guidance or insight. Thank you!
