Best Answer

If a Medical Student wants to be competitive for top residency programs, they usually require a 4.0 overall GPA. Residency Programs look at this the most. With a 4.0 overall GPA, you will be able to get into any residence program you desire.

What are the top radiology residency programs in California?

UCSF (Univ of CA at san francisco) is considered the top radiology program in CA. It is considered by many to be the most competitive (although not "the best") to get into in the country. I'm not sure what those previous programs listed were, but they were not radiology residency programs. Perhaps they were radiology technologist training programs. A radiologist is an M.D. who goes through 4 yrs undergrad, 4 years med school, 1 year general internship, 4 years residency and likely 1-3 years fellowship (14-16 yrs post high school) whereas a tech is a two yr program after high school (some prefer a 2-4 yr degree first though I believe).


What is the Plastic surgery job outlook?

Plastic surgery is very competitive with a difficult training residency. You would need to first graduate from medical school at the top of your class, then complete either general surgery (5-7 years) followed by plastic surgery (3 years) or enter Integrated Plastics out of medical school (6+ years). Both plastics fellowships and integrated plastics residency are amongst the most competitive and difficult to obtain spots in medicine. To be competitive you'll need top board scores, excellent clinical grades, good letters of recommendation from plastic surgeons and research publications.
