fellowship

Hi All. Long time lurker, but wanted to start a thread on the 2020-2021 NCC Match cycle (for positions in 2022) given that application submissions opened last week. It’s very early in the cycle but thought it would be a good idea for a thread refresh for current and future applicants (since...

Hi! This is Rafael. I recently got graduated from my medical school in my country, and moved to the US as a permanent resident. Currently I'm studying for USMLE, but I wonder if there is any other stuff I can do by now. For example, I read about fellowships. What are your thoughts? Thank you!!

Hello anyone interested in nephrology fellowship. Welcome! The objective of this thread is to give a real insight into program so if you do consider it you know what you are getting. Also to provide you with the types of questions I wish I knew to ask on my fellowship interviews. USC: Pros...

Hi everyone. Has anyone taken a few years break to work before fellowship? How did it work out? Would you advise against it or find it beneficial? Thanks

As we’re coming into fellowship application/interview season, just wondering if you all have heard what your or other programs are doing in terms of interviewing - are they going virtual? in person? Combo? How do you think this will affect the match this year? More internal matches? Let’s hear...

Hello, I am a (soon to be) PGY2 at an upper-mid tier large academic program (AP/CP). I am an AMG from a reputable medical school. I want to do general, community practice pathology. I do not want to do a fellowship. I entered the field anticipating that I would need to do a fellowship, but...

Hey all, I’m nearing the end of my PGY 1 year in IM and I’ve decided that I’d like to pursue a lifestyle specialty. So far I’ve narrowed it to Endocrine vs Rheum. Based on my research, both fields are comparable in terms of lifestyle and pay, I was wondering if any attendings or fellows in...

Was hoping to get in touch with other people applying this cycle since everything will likely be online and we won't have the comradery of the interview trail. Wasn't sure where else to post, so decided to take it back to SDN, but haven't seen a FP topic in years, so it is likely a longshot...

Hi guys, I'm looking at several specialties that may be a strong fit for me. My interests are treating children with neurodevelopmental disorders and do autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities research. I've been pretty set on Pediatric Neurology. But, I'm aware that there are several pathways...

Fellowship directors, current fellows, and future fellows - If COVID-19 precautions were to continue through the upcoming fellowship interview season (2020-2021), what recommendations would you make in applying to fellowships outside of a matching system (e.g., epilepsy)? Things are not as...

Does anyone know a good resource to see open pediatric anesthesia fellowship positions for this coming summer? ie 2020-2021 academic year? Thanks!

Great opportunity for those looking into OMFS and did not match this year. You will have an opportunity to work with multiple oral surgeons and hospital dentists.

Anyone applying this year?

Hi all, I’m an IM resident at a university-affiliated community hospital. I want to apply for fellowship, however, am torn between rheum and pulm crit. I do realize that these are two very different career paths and a lot of people would not be choosing between two of them. On the other hand, I...

Hi there, I am an ECFMG certified IMG who specialized in general surgeon in a foreign country (not US or Canada). My goal is to get accepted into an ACGME accredited surgery fellowship in the US. I hear about a lot of surgeons doing a non-acgme fellowship, after which they come back to their...

Completing a palliative care fellowship and matched to heme/onc fellowship that starts in July. I would be very happy to find a job (open to private practice or academic) as a medical oncologist or even split position palliative and medical oncology. That being said, I am considering medical...

Why is California so difficult? I have been accepted into a fellowship (current pgy3). The DO board is saying I won't get my Post Graduate training License in time (roughly 7 months away from start right now). And in order to apply for a full license I need 6+ months as others are currently...

Can anyone describe the differences between the two and the pros and cons of each? I have a passion for family medicine and want to go into a family med residency, but I also have a passion for obstetrics. I feel that the Board of Certification in Family Medicine Obstetrics will allow me to...

Hey everybody, I am a PGY-2 in a front-loaded neurology residency program seeking advice from senior residents, fellows, and attendings. I have various thoughts about future career options and have spoken to some of my attendings, who have been in academia for most of their careers. I was...

The time is here. I have found various other threads from prior years a lovely source of info, so figured we could start it for this year.

How do you make it work? Many of the best fellowships pay below poverty line for anyone with a family. Does moonlighting even come close to making up for it? Are those fellowships just off the table for individuals with a family? It seems a little ridiculous to be paid like you’re working for...

Hi all! I'm currently a medical student at University of Queensland. I'm Australian, and I hope to do my residency here is Australia and practice in Australia as an attending in the future. However, to my understanding, the US is really advance in terms of their clinical knowledge and experience...

Hello, If an IMG has completed their residency outside the US, in a non-ACGME accredited program; are they still eligible to apply for a US fellowship? If yes, what are their chances of getting licensed for working in the US as physicians? Thank you

Applied to GI this year and had some really good interviews but being a realist, I know there's always a chance I won't match. Recently I've had a few emails from programs offering PGY4 junior faculty/chief resident spots. In case I don't match, just wondering if picking up one of these...

Anyone here have updated insight into Northwestern’s CAP fellowship program? Impression of strengths or weaknesses? Any recent changes? I noticed that the PD and call structure seems to have changed since people last reviewed this program on SDN, and they seem to be getting competitive...

Hello all! I'm looking into military medicine (specifically looking at USUHS, but also at HPSP), and as much as I appreciate this forum, it's hard to replace one-on-one communication. So, if you or someone you know in military medicine is willing to exchange emails or phone calls with me, I...

Hello all, I haven't found a forum for PEM application and interview season so I thought it would be wise to start one! It has been radio silence since 7/15, wanna know if it's the same for everyone. :rolleyes:

Hello, I heard that if IMG does their residency outside of the US, they can still be eligible for the State Board certification (not the American Board) if they work at the same hospital for 3-4 consecutive years (i.e through fellowship(s)). Thus they could apply for the State Board exam of the...

I'll start: University of Colorado

Hey all! Hoping to have a place where people post when they start hearing from programs! I feel like since submitting I have been staring at my phone expecting emails. Good luck!
