Hi, incoming USUHS student here. 6 years of prior service in the Navy, 4 as a linguist and 2 in EMDP2 (USUHS's enlisted to MD postbacc).
I'm interested in rads, but threads from a few years ago shared that quite a few residency seats were cut and the field is overmanned. Will this likely persist/get worse? I keep hearing that the Navy is moving away from wanting GMO tours pre-residency and moving towards OMO tours after. Any idea when this is supposed to start? Is radiology a specialty that has a GMO tour as a soft requirement, or is it possible to go straight through after med school?
I'd appreciate any info, insight, or advice for matching rads in the Navy. If anyone would be willing to share their job and life satisfaction as a Navy radiologist I'd love to hear about that too. Thanks!
