That's going to be a great program... Very good faculty, beautiful center, protons, peds, and Mayo infrastructure. The suit will be tough in the summer. But, some unmatched person is gonna get lucky like a barfly at closing time.

I've never heard of such a thing. Has any other program done that? Taking a resident without them being a resident basically.
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Department of Radiation Oncology was recently approved for permanent expansion to 12 residents...
Announcement of Open PGY-2 Position beginning July 1, 2015
The Duke University Radiation Oncology residency program has an immediate available position for a PGY-2 resident beginning July 1, 2015. This program, which received 10-year accreditation by the ACGME in 2009, is approved for 12 residents.
Residents will enjoy a broad experience of clinical radiation oncology and get abundant exposure to advanced radiation therapy techniques including intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), as well as LDR and HDR brachytherapy. Residents may also participate in a wide range of research opportunities in translational and basic science, physics and dosimetry, or clinical radiation oncology.
Interested applicants who are US citizens or permanent visa holders (we do not support H1b visas) should send the following to [email protected] for initiating their application:
1) Curriculum vitae
2) Cover Letter/Personal statement
This is out of control. Do you really think we need more training spots?
I assumed from the wording that it's more that someone who had already matched and was beginning to start PGY-2 in a few months (i.e., someone who matched last year and is an intern now) won't be starting for whatever reason. Not a new spot.
What wording leads you to believe that? They say they were approved for 12 residents...

This is correct.
Happens fairly often, more often than most people thinkPretty awesome if you're a person that went unmatched last year for that spot to open up though I'm sure many of them have already taken other open spots by now. Someone is getting lucky with this.
If they take a current PGY1 that's supposed to start in another program in July, that will start a cascade of opening spots.
I've seen these open spots happen a lot, but it's not often that one the caliber of Duke opens up this late in the year.
I don't really understand how all these spots are opening up? Especially PGY4 positions (maryland) and UCLA
Posted thrice over the past five months? I do recall UMMCRO being in the match this year for a bit then suddenly surreptitiously dropping out. Will you guys be returning the money you got from applicants who applied (a percentage of the application fee) or is that money already committed to the "fellowship" (i.e. a resident that is not really a resident)?
