Medical Residency Application & Interview Preparation Specialists
Whilst data on the least competitive residencies is relatively easy to find, information on the least popular (aka the residencies with the least raw applications, rather than the lowest chance of successfully matching) is a little harder to find. However, two specialties do seem to stand out from the rest. Note that we only considered the major specialties – some of the smallest or least well-known specialties, like Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation for example, might boast even lower numbers of applicants.

The data we found indicates that only 3.8% of total applications were submitted to Radiology programs, whilst only 5.1% were submitted to Psychiatry. Compare this with about 20% being submitted to Internal Medicine and we begin to see how pronounced the difference is between the most popular of the major specialties and the least.
Radiology is typically a four year residency, which in turn leads to fellowships in a range of specialist areas within radiology. The most lengthy fellowship one could take would be neurointerventional radiology, which would add another three years of training to the initial Residency – making a total of 4 years of pre-med, 4 years of medical school, 4 years of residency and 3 years of fellowship for a total of 15 years education and training after finishing high school! However, most training would be complete with one year of subspecialty fellowship. The median wage for a diagnostic radiologist in the US is $441,000 per year, making it one of the best paid specialties.
