It’s now been two years of radsresident.com weekly articles, posts, and ask the residency director questions. In total, we have almost 200 posts (194 to be exact!) on all sorts of topics dedicated to radiology residency. And, it seems that my readers want more! Moreover, the site continues to grow significantly from its humble beginnings, and its viewership had almost quadrupled from the months when it first started.
So, let’s talk about a bit about what has been going on for the past year or so. To do that, I will discuss the three segments of viewers that take an interest in this website. Overall, they are evenly divided. To categorize them, I would separate the viewers of radsresident.com into those interested in radiology residency application advice, general residency advice, and finally, post-residency advice. Within each group, the readers gravitate to some of the more popular resources on radsresident.com. And, I will show you some of the articles on each of these topics as I list the most popular posts on this website. Additionally, we will talk about some of the plans for the up and coming year and where we are heading.
Let’s start by showing you what articles have been the most popular over the course of the past year and for all-time. Here are the pieces that the most people find helpful (and entertaining I hope!) After the title, you will see that I categorize each into one of the three segments above.

What Else Has Happened Over The Past Year?
In addition to the useful articles and posts, we have continued to give you the case of the week. I hope you are enjoying these cases. Moreover, you may have noticed updates and edits on many of my older articles to make them easier to read and access.
More recently, I have become a Doximity Author. Over the next several months, you may notice many of these and new articles featured on the website.
Finally, I am still in the process of editing my new ebook called The New Attending Physician Guidebook as you can see in the cover below. This ebook should be out for release in several weeks to a month on Amazon.com. I will update you all on the official release date when I know.
What Else To Expect Over The Course Of The Next Year On Radsresident.com?
To continually improve and make this website as helpful as I can to you, the readers, you may notice a few changes here and there. First of all, over the next several months you may begin to see fewer Wednesday posts and newsletter emails. Instead of a weekly feature on all Wednesday evenings, we will dedicate Wednesdays evenings to sponsored posts, guest posts, ask the residency director questions, Doximity authored posts, and special event posts only. I am doing this to devote more time to maintenance of the website since it has grown substantially over the past two years (it has become a big job having close to 200 posts!)
However, I will continue to post regularly scheduled articles every Sunday as well as the weekly e-newsletter on this day. Additionally, I will still post the case of the week on Sundays on the e-newsletter, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Like before, I will continue to publish the case of the week answers to the website each Wednesday evening.
