Hi there! I'm looking for a study partner for day 2 of the cardio boards. If anyone is interested send me a DM. I am on the East Coast but can be flexible with my schedule.

Hey everyone — throwing this up for any fellows or soon-to-be fellows who are looking for this upcoming July 2026. We have an open interventional and structural cardiology positions at Beacon Health System (formerly Borgess) in Kalamazoo, MI, and I figured this crowd would appreciate the details...

I’m about four months from starting my cardiology fellowship, and I’ve been trying to get a solid grasp on the key cardiology guidelines and the landmark clinical trials that shape them. But, I’ve found there aren’t many good resources that help tie everything together in a structured...

M4 applying to IM. Undecided between cardiology (general/outpatient) versus primary care. I’ve heard mixed opinions on applying to cardiology fellowship from an IM primary care track. I was wondering if anyone had additional insights. Thanks!

Hi! I am currently an M1 and I am thinking that I want to do internal med then cards fellowship (not 100% set but that is my interest currently). I currently am applying for my school's summer research program and one of the clinical projects is in psychology, which I do have research experience...

Hi there! I've recently decided to in-depth study ECG and fo in some real big trouble. I've heard from a cardiologist that "r" wave in V1 records right ventricle depolarization (as it is closer to RV), while "s" wave records LV depolarization. And, at the same time, in the frontal plane, q-r-s...

I'm struggling a bit and would like some insight from my fellow peers on here... MS1 here - since my cardiology block, I've realized how much I love even the basic science behind it, and have found a lot of joy from shadowing and speaking with many people in the field. I am in the midst of...

Hi all! Current New York MS1 here hoping to pursue cardiology. The med school I attend does not have a cardiology interest group, and I am getting quite a bit of resistance from our club commissioner with beginning it as it falls under IM. I have so many ideas for this, have backing by the...

Probably an unconventional ask but looking to swap fellowship programs as a newly started PGY-4. I am at one of the top programs in the Southern region. Cath and EP are a strength. Large city. Looking to relocate for reasons related to geography and personal interests/ career fit. DM me...

Seems a bit late in the game but nobody has started a thread so far, lets get this rolling. Med school/visa: Non US-IMG Residency: Low-Mid Tier University program Step 1: 240s Step 2: 250s Step 3: 240s Research: Mostly abstracts (3 submitted as first author to conferences). Will try to get one...

Hello everyone, I am a medical student and I am wondering about my future specialty. I really like non-invasive cardiology and I would like to work in the future in private practice. The subject I am passionate about is arrhythmias and less so myocardial infarctions. My question is: is it...

Hi everyone I recently started talking to recruiters for job. When it comes to salary not many disclose. Some places say they use MGMA. This question is for those who are currently working.

Hello everyone I am currently a second-year cardiology fellow at a university program. I am on a J1 visa and by the time I graduate, I am hoping to be Echo, Nuclear and CT certified. I wanted to get everyone's thoughts on advanced cardiac imaging as an additional year of fellowship. I intend to...

Hi all, I went unmatched cards this year and I am literally devastated and fighting depression at this point. I don't know what to do. I figured a chief resident year would be a fair option. I am unsure where to start looking for those positions though? I found 3 that are at hospitals without a...

Hey all, Haven't seen a thread created yet for this year's upcoming match and for some reason folks were commenting on the old one, so figured I'd make a new one here. Good luck to all!

I have in my notes: Anterolateral = I, aVL, V4-6 = LCx Anteroseptal = V2-4 = LAD Anterior = V2-6 = LMS If the LMS branches into LCx and LAD, why are there not changes in a combination of the above i.e. I, aVL, V2-6? I had an exam q where changes were ST elevation in the V1–V6, I, and aVL...

This one's gonna be a doozy folks! With COVID and no in-person interviews, I wonder how things are going to play out. Maybe we can showcase our catheter twirling skills on Zoom! :D Starting this thread so that we can share information on Interview invites, Rejections and Pre-Filled programs...

Could the experts elaborate on how difficult would it be to get into a Cards fellowship, Heme/Onc Fellowship, and a Radiology Residency as a DO student after this new Step 1 being P/F. I'm most likely going to end up in a DO school, and these specialties so far interest me the most. Thank you.

Hi, I'm curious as to how the two (rads and cards) are match friendly to DOs. I'm most likely going to end up at a DO school and wanted to know how hard would it be to get into IM then a cards fellowship or to get into a radiology program, especially w/ step 1 being p/f. Preferably would like to...

Hey everyone, I'm currently a PGY2 IM resident at a community program with no internal cardiology fellowship spot. I'm also a US-IMG with average board scores and with currently 1-2 poster presentations under my name and no other research. My goal is to start two retrospective research...

It's that time of the year again !! please post your invitations and rejections below! Good luck everyone :)

Hello! I got in the mid-high 400s on my Comlex I and II and ended up taking Step 2CK and did pretty well (230s range). During interview season, PDs actually asked why there was such a jump between my COMLEX and USMLE scores and they wished I had taked Step 1. I am applying for IM and am looking...

I have been interested in Cardiology since undergrad and despite keeping an open mind through med school, I still feel like it's far and above my favorite. One of my first rotations is an elective. Sounds like a great chance to get into a cardiology away rotation early on but being that I'm...

Why are the AV blocks given the designations 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.? Is it by severity like getting burned or is there some other reason?

Starting my research and have the data type as .ZHR would like to convert the raw ECG data to .EDF or ASCII txt or .csv file so I can read it and analyze it in kubios. Any help is appreciate it. If you have the Philips Zymed software let me know. Thank you!

Hello! I'm a nurse hoping to go into medical school soon and while I KNOW that I have plenty of time to think about specialties, I wanted to get some opinions and a comparison of two candidates. Two very different candidates. Allow me to explain this odd juxtaposition. I have thought about...
