No match for me, thinking about HF fellow to strengthen my CV, any place still looking for 1 year sub-specialty fellow? [email protected]
Just wanted to share with everybody, and next years class. I am a Caribbean US IMG, average USMLE scores, community program at a NY Hospital. Worked my butt off to make connections, and was successful in matching in Cardiology.
Looking back, I feel the biggest most important aspect of my application is connections, who you know, how much they are willing to go to for you (phone calls), and how influential they are in the Cardiology world. If you are an applicant similar to me (US IMG/community prog/average USMLE scores/avg research), this I believe is very impt to have. In addition, looking at the stats, Cardiology is getting slightly less competitive each year, which will help many who are truly passionate about it. I hope this will help future applicants and encourage more to apply next year, as anything is possible.
