If you’re wondering how #Match2025 application reviews are going for this PD, I had a dream that ERAS only let you see 10 of your program’s gold signals before making you watch a 2 minute ad. 🤦🏼♀️

I’ll miss my @TheSENRS friends & excellent talks this year, but as a lifelong Mississippian with memories of the devastation of hurricane Katrina reflected in the images of Asheville, my heart hurts for Asheville and all in Helene’s path. I’ve donated my refunded meeting registration fee to unitedwayabc.org and hope others will do the same.
Due to devastation in Asheville, NC, we have made the difficult decision to cancel SENRS 2024 meeting. Safety of our attendees & local community is top priority. We look forward to returning in 2025 with details to come soon. We encourage donations to: unitedwayabc.org

Look at radiology 👀! Bananas! Ortho did it right: create a system where applicants pick the programs they are most serious about (what we all had prior to virtual interviews). Less 💰 applicants have to spend and programs less overwhelmed w/ applications. @UMMCRads
In case you are curious about #Match2023 apps compared to last year! almost all increased. Number of signals in parentheses did not make any difference except possibly for Ortho! EM is headed towards another rough season as applicants decreased by 24%! 2 spots per 1 MD applicant!

Big signaling!
➡️ Fewer applications reduce cost to applicants, allow PDs and team for a better in-depth holistic application review when you don’t have a mountain of applications to get through
➡️ Applicants win, Programs win!
Increased DR & IR signals from last year is heading in the right direction. Let’s keep going ⬆️! @theAPDR
Program directors are seeing fewer applications in these specialties, too.
The first 7 specialties from the left use big signaling (>15). The 3 on the right give applicants fewer signals.
Look which got fewer applications this year… and which got more.

Definitely feeling this here @UMMCRads! Would love to see a stat on average number of applications per resident position available this year.
The #ERAS2023 data suggest a more competitive reason for diagnostic radiology residency applications. With more MD and IMG applicants, as well as far higher applications per MD applicant, the average program is getting 25% more applications than in 2022.
