Dear Program Directors,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Stephanie Salas, and I am the Residency Program Coordinator for the Diagnostic Radiology program at KPC.
KPC Global Medical Centers, Inc. is a community hospital based GME institution located in the Inland Empire of Southern California, in a medically underserved area. Our Diagnostic Radiology program will unfortunately be closing, effective June 30, 2026, and we are seeking training spots for our displaced Radiology residents, as well as Transitional Year interns who have matched into Radiology for July of 2026.
We understand that taking on additional residents can be challenging, particularly if your program is at or above complement. However, per ACGME and CMS guidelines, programs may accept displaced residents even if they are at their current cap, provided the educational environment and resources can support the additional trainees. We are prepared to enter into a cap transfer agreement for each resident, and we can provide our proposed agreement for your review.
The following residents are in need of placement:
- Ajith Raja- PGY1 Categorical

Dear Program Directors,
My name is Rime Ezzeldin, MD, and I am currently a Transitional Year resident at HCA Florida Ocala Regional on a J-1 visa. I am seeking a PGY-2 (R1) Diagnostic Radiology position beginning July 2026.
Radiology is both a professional pursuit and a personal legacy for me. My father is a radiologist, and my two brothers are an interventional radiologist and an interventional neurologist. Their mentorship, combined with my own clinical and research training, has reinforced my passion for becoming part of a specialty that lies at the intersection of technology, precision, and patient care.
I graduated from the Jordan University of Science and Technology, where I consistently ranked on the annual honor list. I am ECFMG certified, have passed all USMLE exams including Step 3 on the first attempt, and completed multiple U.S.-based observerships in musculoskeletal, neuroimaging, and body imaging at the University of Texas Medical Branch. Alongside clinical training, I have contributed extensively to the academic field, with over 20 peer-reviewed publications in journals such as J NeuroInterventional Surgery, AJNR, Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, and World Neurosurgery.
I bring with me a strong academic foundation, resilience, and a proven commitment to advancing radiology through both research and clinical practice. I am eager to contribute to a program that values scholarship, collaboration, and innovation.
If your program has an opening, I would be honored to be considered. My full application, including CV, USMLE transcripts, letters of recommendation, and MSPE, is available upon request. I may be reached at [email protected] or (346) 679-0744. Please feel free to contact me at any time for additional information and documentation. I Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Rime Ezzeldin, MD

Dear Program Directors,
My name is Joseph George, and I am a physician with prior Diagnostic Radiology residency training at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, having completed both the R1 (PGY-2) and R2 (PGY-3) years. I also completed a Transitional Year internship in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I am seeking re-entry into another Diagnostic Radiology residency position, with immediate availability. I am happy to join at any PGY level where there is availability. I am ready to begin credentialing immediately.
Academically, I graduated summa cum laude during my undergraduate studies. I have a strong exam record (Step 1 267, Step 2 CK 271, Step 3 242), honors in all core clinical rotations in medical school, and AOA membership. I also have scored in the top-quartile on the two DXIT in-service examinations I have taken. I bring a strong research background in Radiology and several additional specialties, which includes abstracts, posters, publications at regional and national conferences. Currently, I have several additional manuscripts in the process of publication. I also have extensive experience tutoring and mentoring medical and pre-medical students in their board exam preparation.
During my training thus far, I have gained broad exposure to every Radiology subspecialty. My residency experience thus far has given me the opportunity to work with diverse patient populations and multidisciplinary teams. I received strong clinical evaluations, and I hold strong letters of recommendation from faculty who directly supervised my work.
I am so excited to continue my career in Radiology. Please feel free to contact me at any time for additional information and documentation. I would be humbled and grateful for your consideration. Thank you so much!

Dear Program Directors,
I am currently a radiology resident at Ondokuz Mayıs University Hospital in Türkiye. I am an ECFMG-certified IMG and will soon begin my preliminary surgery year at Brookdale University Hospital in New York. I am seeking an R1 or PGY-2 position starting in July 2026, in IR or DR, ideally with ESIR or strong IR exposure.
Originally from Sudan, I completed my medical education at Ege University, one of Türkiye’s top institutions, graduating in the top 2.5% of my class. As part of my medical training, I participated in an Erasmus+ exchange program at Aarhus University in Denmark, where I gained valuable clinical experience in a different healthcare system. Now, I am excited to bring my diverse international background to the U.S. healthcare system.
Throughout my training, I developed a strong interest in DR and IR through extensive clinical exposure, including observing and assisting with various IR procedures. I actively engaged in the field by attending international IR congresses such as ET, CIRSE, and PAIRS, which further fueled my passion for minimally invasive, patient-centered treatments.
My application materials (CV, USMLE scores, transcript, personal statement, and letters of recommendation) are available upon request. I would be honored to be considered and would welcome the opportunity to contribute to your program.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

My name is Christopher Zaki, a fourth-year medical student at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson, graduating in May 2025. I recently participated in the 2025 Match cycle but, unfortunately, did not match into Diagnostic Radiology. I have secured a preliminary internal medicine year at Huntington Hospital in Pasadena, California, beginning July 2025, and I am now seeking an advanced PGY-2 (R1) position in Diagnostic Radiology starting July 2026.
I am deeply committed to a career in diagnostic radiology and have spent the last several years building a strong academic and clinical foundation in the field. I have completed several home and away rotations in both diagnostic and interventional radiology. My passion for imaging, technology, and procedural medicine has led to multiple pending publications, along with national conference presentations at NASCI and RSNA. This work includes research conducted during a dedicated fellowship at UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine under the mentorship of Dr. Arash Bedayat.
I have a strong interest in academic radiology, with a focus on AI integration, neuroradiology, musculoskeletal imaging, and cardiovascular imaging. My goal is to contribute meaningfully to a program with strong clinical training, mentorship, and opportunities for scholarly growth.
I would be grateful for the opportunity to be considered for any available R1 or PGY-2 diagnostic radiology positions. My application materials, including CV, USMLE scores, transcript, personal statement, and letters of recommendation, are available upon request.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
