Are you looking to get into the diagnostic radiology residency program of your dreams? We’ve got you covered! Here, we’ll give you the inside scoop on which diagnostic radiology programs have the highest and lowest publications, MD-PhDs, AOA, and Gold Humanism members among matched applicants. So, if you’re curious about diagnostic radiology or have a specific program in mind, you can learn all the details you need to maximize your chances of becoming a diagnostic radiologist.
Which Diagnostic Radiology Residency Programs Require the Most Research?
As discussed previously, matched diagnostic radiology applicants have moderate numbers of abstracts, presentations, and publications.
But how many publications are expected of each diagnostic radiology residency? Here, we’ll discuss which programs have the most – and fewest – publications among their residents. That way, you can make an informed decision and feel hopeful about getting into the program that’s right for you.
Let’s look at which diagnostic radiology residency programs have the most – and least – publications among their members. (NOTE: the data here report the Average number of peer-reviewed publications among matched applicants. This is more narrow – and restrictive – than the “abstracts, presentations, and publications,” measure found on ERAS and reported by the Charting Outcomes in the Match reports.)
| Residency program name | City | State | Average number of peer-reviewed publications among matched applicants | Average number of research experiences among matched applicants | # current residents who were graduates of joint MD-PhD program | % current residents who were graduates of MD-PhD programs | % matched applicants members of Alpha Omega Alpha (at the time of application) | % matched applicants members of Gold Humanism Honor Society (at the time of application) | Program curriculum includes a dedicated research rotation | % completed residents with non-academic U.S. practice career plans | % completed residents with plans to continue training in another program | % completed residents with plans to obtain a full-time or part-time academic position | % completed residents with other career plans | Total # Residents on Duty |

Which Diagnostic Radiology Residency Programs Have the Most MD-PhDs?
Are you hoping to get into a diagnostic radiology residency program? Having an MD-PhD may help you stand out, but it’s not always necessary.
As noted previously, having an MD-PhD is associated with an increased likelihood of matching into diagnostic radiology as a specialty. Note that this is a relatively small advantage (~3% match rate increase for those with a PhD vs. those without).
Check out this list of diagnostic radiology residency programs in the US and their MD-PhD percentages.
| Residency program name | City | State | % current residents who were graduates of MD-PhD programs | # current residents who were graduates of joint MD-PhD program | Average number of peer-reviewed publications among matched applicants | Average number of research experiences among matched applicants | % matched applicants members of Alpha Omega Alpha (at the time of application) | % matched applicants members of Gold Humanism Honor Society (at the time of application) | Program curriculum includes a dedicated research rotation | % completed residents with non-academic U.S. practice career plans | % completed residents with plans to continue training in another program | % completed residents with plans to obtain a full-time or part-time academic position | % completed residents with other career plans | Total # Residents on Duty |

Diagnostic Radiology Programs with the Lowest Percentage of MD-PhDs
While having an MD-PhD can give you a leg up on matching into diagnostic radiology, note that there are many (many) programs without an MD-PhD among their residents. In fact, there were only 32 programs that reported having any graduates from MD-PhD programs.
Which Diagnostic Radiology Programs Have the Most AOA and Gold Humanism Honor Society Members?
Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) and Gold Humanism Honor Society (GHHS) memberships are two important factors in the diagnostic radiology residency matching process. AOA recognizes students and residents who excel academically, in leadership, and in professionalism, while GHHS recognizes individuals who demonstrate exceptional qualities in patient-centered care and humanism.
As noted before, AOA membership is associated with an increased likelihood of matching into diagnostic radiology.
Here we list the US diagnostic radiology residency programs and the % of their residents who were AOA or GHHS members. Note you can search for individual programs, sort the data, and many other useful things in your diagnostic radiology residency search.

Diagnostic radiology Programs with the Most and Least AOA and GHHS Members
The diagnostic radiology residency programs with the highest reported percentage of AOA members are:
- Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science (Arizona) Program
- University of Michigan Health System Program
- Wake Forest University School of Medicine Program
- Johns Hopkins University Program
- Duke University Hospital Program
- McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University Program
The diagnostic radiology residency programs with the lowest reported percentage of AOA members are:
- Brookwood Baptist Health Program
- Ohio State University Hospital Program
- University of New Mexico School of Medicine Program
- Tulane University Program
- Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital Program
Are AOA Numbers Artificially Low in the Most Competitive Diagnostic Radiology Residency Programs?
As we can see above, while AOA and GHHS membership can be beneficial, it’s not necessarily a critical factor in being accepted into a diagnostic radiology residency program.
For example, the Harvard diagnostic radiology program only had 35% of its residents with AOA membership and only 5% with GHHS membership. (The diagnostic radiology program is Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School Program).
So, why might some of the most competitive diagnostic radiology residency programs have fewer AOA and GHHS members? One potential explanation is that some of the most prestigious medical schools don’t have AOA chapters. For example, the medical schools at Harvard, Stanford, Yale, and UCSF all lack AOA chapters.
Ultimately, it’s essential to remember that AOA and GHHS membership can be important factors in getting accepted into a diagnostic radiology residency program. However, they’re not the only ones. There are plenty of other ways to make your application stand out, such as having strong USMLE scores, letters of recommendation, and a well-crafted personal statement.
Concluding Thoughts
Publications; AOA and GHHS membership; and having a PhD can all benefit an application into diagnostic radiology. However, as we can see, different diagnostic radiology residency programs have different expectations as to what they are looking for in applicants.
