Hi,

I'm currently a 4th year medical student applying for residency with the intention of applying for a hem/onc fellowship in a couple of years.

I have a question regarding the reputation of the residency program when fellowship directors consider the applications. Also, is it better to go to a program that has a Comprehensive Cancer Center versus an academic center that does not?

I'm looking to go back to Chicago for fellowship -- specifically at University of Chicago, Northwestern, or Rush....does anyone know what are important factors for these particular programs?

I'd really appreciate any input!!
