Hey guys,
US AMG 4th year here, will be applying for residency in September. For the longest time I was thinking that I would be doing internal medicine with a fellowship in pulmonary critical care and I have been on this path since 3rd year. At the beginning of 4th year I set up my schedule with an internal medicine sub-i which was followed by a MICU month to see what my future would be like. Long story short, I don't want to do ICU anymore. After a lot of reflection with my wife, I'm now thinking that I would rather go the family medicine route with a possible fellowship in sports med (original interest when starting med school with research posters in this subject) as outpatient medicine has been something I've enjoyed much more. I do have a question though...can I apply to family medicine programs in the match without completing a sub-i in FM? This is the major hold up for me. I have a VERY strong family medicine letter from an FM doc I worked with during med school for 14 weeks. I also have a letter from IM as well as psychiatry.
Other stats for me....step I 234, step II 249, all honors for 3rd year grades, some research with posters and a publication coming up.
