Hello,
I am wondering how does being part of the rural track may affect one's fellowship chances or career prospects, if at all?
Is it common for the curriculum to be different even for the first two years? A program I know has the rural track residents take 4 months of FM as opposed to 2 months of IM + 2 months of FM. With this point, I suppose I am worried about getting my residency training recognized in a foreign country (where I MIGHT move to 10-20 years from now).
Any other advantages/disadvantages of such tracks, besides the obvious obligation to train in a more rural area during PGY3/PGY4?
Thank you!
