DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY · APPLICATION CYCLE 2026–2027
Track your Diagnostic Radiology residency applications — every program, signal, and interview.
Diagnostic Radiology is typically an advanced specialty — four years starting at PGY-2, after a separate preliminary or transitional year — which means most applicants are managing two simultaneous application lists on the same calendar, not one. 201 Diagnostic Radiology programs, 46 states. The signal budget: 15 total, 6 gold — the largest gold share AAMC assigns any specialty CycleDoc tracks.
Built by a former residency director of medical education and core faculty member who read thousands of applications.

DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY SPECIFIC
With 6 of 15 signals as gold, how should I split them for Diagnostic Radiology?
AAMC's allowance here is 15 total with 6 gold — the largest gold share of any specialty CycleDoc tracks, meaning nearly 40% of your signal budget carries the higher tier. Most applicants reserve gold for programs where fit is clearest and spend standard-tier signals more broadly across the rest of the list.

FAQ
Reasonable questions.
Do Emergency Medicine and OB/GYN use ERAS?
No. Emergency Medicine and Obstetrics and Gynecology apply through ResidencyCAS, operated by Liaison, with a September 17, 2026 deadline. Most other specialties use ERAS, where applicants can submit to programs starting September 2, 2026 and programs begin reviewing September 23, 2026. If you're applying to EM or OB/GYN and another specialty, you complete both applications separately, on each platform's own timeline. Ophthalmology is separate again — it matches through the SF Match and does not use ERAS signaling. CycleDoc tracks whichever applies to you.
