does anyone know what TIME on wednesday we find out? Or it is any time of the day?
Based on what assessment ?Hem-Onc is more compititive than Cardio this year.
It might help you get a spot at that one particular program. Otherwise, do a hospitalist year and make some money instead.Congratulations to all those who matched this year!
From all the forum gurus I have a question. How beneficial do you guys think is a unaccredited BMT fellowship in preperation for a Hem/onc fellowship application?
Thanks!
Reading? What's that?The new fellows , you know what you guys will use as a reference or reading during fellowship? Textbooks? NCCN ? Journal? What do seniors recommend?
Thanks
Reading? What's that?
UpToDate, NCCN Guidelines (not just the flowcharts but the whole thing), ChemotherapyAdvisor (and references therein), the series "How I Treat XXXX" from Blood for heme questions and the new ASCO-SEP 4 (I assume there's an ASH one too but I didn't heme board so don't care) will get you 98% of the way there. Other than that, get your free subscription to JCO and read the summaries of the articles in the beginning of each issue just so you stay on top of what's new, and you'll be fine.
Hi in in the same boat... Unmatched coz I ranked only 2 programs. I have the same concern as you. Suggestions will be appreciatedHi Gutonc, I unmatched as expected since I only ranked 2 programs. What would you advise me to do to increase my chances next year? Should I look for a hospitalist in a BMT unit or work as a regular hospitalist? Does it really make a difference? Thank you very much for all your help!!! And congrats to all those who matched!!

I don't really think it will matter. The bigger issue I have is why you only ranked 2 programs and what you've done so far (and will do prior to the end of the year) to increase your chances of matching. Whatever you do next year will likely have little (not no, but minimal) impact on your ability to match (other than at one specific program). Whatever you choose to do though, definitely make sure it's at a place with a hem/onc fellowship and make some connections.Hi in in the same boat... Unmatched coz I ranked only 2 programs.

Hi Gutonc, I ranked two programs because I had issues because I will move alone with my son. My husband still has 1 year of residency left. That made it more difficult for me to move around with my son alone. So I will reapply next year when my husband finishes. I have ongoing research that I am trying to finish. I have only 6 months left for residency. What is your advice in that limited time? Has anyone applied after residency and got lucky this year or does it get difficult to match if you apply after residency? I saw a lady this year that worked 2 years as a hosptalist in a BMT unit and got 40 interviews at great names. Is that the exception or the rule? Thank youI don't really think it will matter.

I'm pretty sure I mentioned that was a bad idea (at least as far as the Match goes) at the time, but you do what you have to do and I can't fault you for that.Hi Gutonc, I ranked two programs because I had issues because I will move alone with my son.

You know 2 things about this person, 1) she worked for 2y as a hospitalist in a BMT unit and 2) she got 40 interviews. You have no idea how, if at all, those two things are related. At this point, you've done all you can do. If there's a BMT unit where you live now, try to get a job as a hospitalist there.I have ongoing research that I am trying to finish.

Hello everyone. I am new to this forum and intend to apply for hem/Onc fellowship next year. I am a second year resident in a mid tier community program in Michigan. i intend to do private practice eventually and would like to have a strong clinical experience. I have been reading posts on this forum for some time and find it really helpful. I have a couple of questions and i will be grateful if someone can take some time and answer these for me.
Being a visa requiring IMG and coming from a mid tier community program in Michigan what factors are the most crucial in getting me a Hem/Onc fellowship?
What kind of research and publications count the most? Do poster presentations, case reports, quality improvement projects count? I am asking this because i think i can get strong letters of recommendations from faculty members but there are limited opportunities for research in my program
Do away rotations help and what kind of objectives should i try to achieve when i am doing an away rotation?
Does doing a chief year make a significant impact on your application?
I am sure there are other members on the forum who have similar questions about Hem/Onc fellowship. We can all benefit if one of the members can answer these questions for us.
I dont think a community hospital chief year will make any difference based on what Ive seen
Anyone getting thank you gifts/gift cards for LOR writers?
Does anyone know how to find out which programs didn't fill all their slots?
You are overthinking this, you will look like an idiot and you will feel behind...no matter what you do. Get another Onc rotation under your belt before then and, if you really feel you have to, try to familiarize yourself with the NCCN guidelines for breast, lung, colon and prostate and maybe read a couple of the "How I Treat..." articles from Blood (MM, AML and DLBCL are a great start). You'll be miles ahead of expectations with that alone.to those who matched this year or former folks, how are you guys preparing for fellowship? are you doing any reading at all or trying to do as much hem/onc rotations as possible?
I don't know what the expectations are from 1st year fellows as they start their training. I might be over thinking this but I hate to look like an idiot or feel behind in July.
