Hi everyone,
I'm just a 4th year med student who has a quick question about GI fellowships. As GI has become more and more competitive, does it REALLY matter where you get a fellowship in the long run (ie, academic vs. small community program), provided you get a place that does a fair amount of teaching and gives you plenty of hands-on experience. I understand why one would want to get the best residency they can (to help them achieve a GI fellowship), but after that, it seems like you just go and work in a practice/hospital. Thanks everyone.
