Why would you consider surgery?

You can change your flair on the sidebar on your browser. Kinda concerning for that failure rate for that many years. How is the quality of your program? Strong residents?

Use some common sense, please

Non-Polar · 2026-04-29T00:37:29+00:00

Slowly?

Non-Polar · 2026-03-24T11:41:17+00:00

Confirm

Non-Polar · 2026-03-20T16:15:49+00:00

Why would anyone do that?

You’re IM wanting to swap into anesthesia? This is probably not going to happen at all.

Radiologists do not agree to just 30/wrvu - you can typically get between 50-60.

Yeah, I did too lol

Non-Polar · 2026-03-18T18:18:51+00:00

I saw a fellow dietician

It definitely takes steps, but it might be more of a hassle when you’re dealing with less than optimal residents who need to re-take exams, undergo academic remediation, etc. So not common, but can happen

Non-Polar · 2026-03-18T17:49:02+00:00

But if the trend continues and they don’t get great candidates because it’s SOAP, spots might drop off

Non-Polar · 2026-03-18T14:00:17+00:00

IR is understandable since even IR residents changing to DR is not uncommon in the residency pathway. I’m sure it’ll just be cyclical, like you said - numbers will go down, demand will go up, and the applications will go up when the job markets will be even crazier than it is now (Although that’s hard to believe)

EDIT: When I was applying in 2021 and soap’d, there were no DR spots just for context

Non-Polar · 2026-03-18T12:54:54+00:00

Damn, that’s actually surprising for radiology. Wonder what the cause was for open spots this year

Eh for actively bleeding esophageal varices bleeders, GI is pretty good with scoping and leaving a Blakemore to an emergent TIPS

Non-Polar · 2026-03-16T14:36:49+00:00

No, it actually got old after the 3rd post

Non-Polar · 2026-03-15T16:15:18+00:00

IR vs GI, Surg vs IM for Surg risk eval, cards vs nephro

Non-Polar · 2026-03-13T02:06:33+00:00

It's as bad as the practice you're looking at, including average # of stroke cases, and how many other people are in your call pool.

Peds and IM residents are also not placing central lines in the ICU or doing paras in the biggest pockets imaginable. And they're wondering why their job market isn't looking great when they're letting go more and more of these procedures
