Hi, I'm currently a 2nd year resident US FMG at an east coast lower tier program. I don't have a ton of research but have 1 paper (like 5th author from before med school), a few case reports / presentations, and book chapter, with a few possible abstracts in the works. I know I'm not a strong candidate and am open to going anywhere for GI but am interested in california for fellowship. I am thinking of doing an away GI elective at a midtier California program where I would have a chance at matching versus doing an away elective at a top tier east coast program to get a strong LOR from a "big name" such as at one of the Harvard programs or maybe Hopkins. What're your recommendations?
