internal medicine residency

USMD applying to IM. Mid to lower mid tier school. Curious to see if using silver signals on UChicago, Northwestern, and Mayo Arizona would be unwise. Step 2 254. Have 4 passes (including IM unfortunately). MSPE will show that I got H on the IM shelf and HP on clinical score tho, but makes me...

I am currently an MS4 at a mid to low tier US MD program. This past year I applied into ortho and did not match. I decided to pursue IM-->Cards as I had been considering this in the past. The SOAP options were terrible so after discussing with mentors and advisors, I decided to reapply this fall...

If one wants to get into an Endo or Heme-Onc fellowship and wants to have some clinical research done...? The facilities are allegedly in the top 5 in the US, and it's near Boston, and it is affiliated with UMass...anyone really wanting to train there? Thanks for the input. (This post is not for...

Hi everyone! I am having a hard time finding reviews on programs I have interviews for, specifically Florida programs. If anyone would be able to give an honest review of their program I feel like it would help a lot of us applying! It's nice to meet residents on interview day but it's hard to...

I see a lot of residency programs with <10% US-MDs. Is that a function of them being less competitive (not attracting a lot of US-MD applicants) or them just preferring DOs/IMGs and being unfriendlier to US-MDs? Basically I want to know if these are worth applying to at all as a US MD.

Recently, I noticed a change in accreditation status for the IM program at the HCA-University of Houston affiliated Kingwood location. It went from initial accreditation to initial accreditation with a warning. I am applying through ERAS this cycle and was bummed to see this change. I know the...

US IMG but I have an AWFUL step 1 (<205). Honestly my only red flag but it's so bad. that it's going to hurt me a lot. Otherwise, never failed a class, honored all core rotations and my Sub Internship, and just got 240+ on Step 2. I have 1 pub, 2 papers pending publication, 2 posters and...

I'm almost done my MS-3 and coming closer to making a decision on what I want to do. I've search extensively on my questions written below, but was either outdated or unsatisfied with the answers. Hoping for some clarification. In addition to the work, I value family time > travel > hobbies. I...

Currently attend T20. H in all rotations, but HP in medicine. Step1 250-255. Research with 3-4 first author publications, 3-4 later authors, 5-6 abstracts. Assuming I can H sub-I/electives, how much of an issue will the HP in medicine be to match at competitive programs (Top 15 or so not just...

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 realize this match season is over. However, I am an eternal optimist that believes the unexpected could still happen. I needed to reach out, in case a spot opens up somewhere. I am in New York right now, have a Green Card, and can show up for an in-person or skype interview on short notice. My...

I'm interested in IM and Psych and have applied to programs offering a combined residency in both specialties, but if I don't match into one and instead match into IM, can I do a psych residency afterwards? If so, would I have to reapply via ERAS? Is it possible to fast track a psych program if...

Hi all. So I saw the post from 2007 when searching my program on Google that said SAY NO TO SUNY DOWNSTATE. I was not here in 2007, but I can speak for 2017. I am coming from a US medical school, so I was not desperate for a residency program. The thing that stuck out most to me on interview day...

So since we're getting closer to 2020 with each day that passes, I was wondering if there's an up-to-date list of internal medicine programs that are either dual-accredited or are at least applying for the ACGME accreditation. The AOA website isn't very helpeful. I'm interested in places that...

Is anyone aware of particularly unique residency programs at various teaching hospitals? I came across a good example of one yesterday when I found out about Penn's "Cutaneous Oncology" program. At any other institution, this is usually a post-derm fellowship, but at Penn, it appears to be a...

I'm an MS4 waiting to match in an Internal Medicine residency program. Personal circumstances have raised the possibility that I may need to defer residency by one year. Has anyone done this, or know someone who did it recently? Could you share your/their experience? Can you speak to how...

Hello, I know this question have been asked many times over here, but I still would prefer to ask it from my own point of view. 1- I would like to know what are my chances as an IMG to get matched into one of the top-tier programs in IM (i.e: John Hopkins, UCSF, Duke, Yale... etc)? 2- Is...
