Check ou my thread on the heme onc forum titled diSappointment in 2012 match. There is a link for all IM fellowships.

Trend I noticed is that Heme/Onc competition has gone way up.

Over 200+ unmatched IM residents for 400+ heme onc positions. Only 68% of IM residents wanting heme onc matched into heme onc.

That means 1 out of 3 Heme/Onc applicants got their hearts broken on match day.

Haha man, why does everything I get interested in suddenly become super competitive.
 
Any programs release their fellowship matches this year? I've been to some programs who have given updated fellowship match lists to applicants, but most interviews were before Dec 5.
 
I have hopkins' match list if people want it I will PM you

Does anyone have Brown, UPMC, or Temple Fellowship match results?

Thanks!
 
I am currently an applicant and I just curious why people are so interested in this info? Is this info really going to change how make your rank list?

Of course! Let me guess, youre gonna make your list based off of 'feel' and 'fit'

Wow! That's a very impressive Heme/onc match list, is that something Cornell routinely does? Does Cornell's proximity to MSKCC give one a better chance of matching in to an Anderson/MSKCC than more highly ranked medicine programs? From the lists posted above it appears so..

They are able to do research with and rotate through with MSKCC faculty. That means their LORs come from well known faculty. They have an occasional weaker year...and yes, the majority that Sloan itself takes from Cornell are from the ABIM research track, but their match list is almost always quite strong for onc. Cardiology...not so much.

and how is the cards program at OHSU?
 
do OHSU residents stay in house because they want to or because they have to... I asked this during my interview and didn't really get a straight answer. The pattern over the past few years has pretty much been in house matches across the board

This thread makes me so confused as to who actually gets into the so-called prestigious cards programs. Not a single resident who matched to B&W or MGH? Do they just magically appear from thin air? Or perhaps they're all taken from their own resident pool...

Hopkins sent a kid to Brigham, but those programs do recruit internally.

If you're scoring at home:

The Prestigious Cards Fellowships:
Hopkins, Duke, Columbia, MGH, BW

Still really damn prestigious cards fellowships:
CC, Penn, Michigan, Wash U, Northwestern, UCLA, UCSF, Texas heart

Feel free to swing programs or add programs into either tier, by taking into account whatever is in fashion with the loudest most obnoxious SDN posters. :D

Tough question to get a really good answer to but I know that in the last 4 or 5 matches, every OHSU resident who matched to OHSU Hem/Onc (I can't really comment on other specialties) ranked OHSU #1 in spite of interviewing other places.

I myself interviewed at UCSF, MSKCC, NW, UW/Hutch and some other top fellowship programs and still ranked OHSU first for a variety of different reasons. For many of us, Portland is a hard place to leave and since OHSU is the only game in town, we stay put.

I think your "prestigious" list is about right. That list is a good one for someone looking for a strong research program. Fellowships, especially for cards, are a bit different from residency; you tend to find programs that are either focused on research or clinical work. I found the decision much more difficult than my residency decision because you really had to decide if you were going to be an academician or a clinician.

There are a few double threats like Columbia and Duke which have strong clinical and research programs. Places like Hopkins or MGH have very strong research and push research at the expense of clinical training. On the converse, CCF is arguably the strongest clinical training but at the expense of research. There you just don't seem to be given much time for major research. So if you wanted to go into academics, CCF wouldn't be ideal. However, if you wanted to be a clinician primarily, you would be doing yourself a disservice by going to Hopkins, MGH or a bunch of other programs on that list.

I imagine pulm and GI are simialr to cards. Heme/onc is probably different since much of the therapy given is based on new protocols so clinical and research training merge nicely.

Location and lifestyle matter - nuff said. Nice to see that kind of balance at a program.

I agree for the most part with Instatewaiter. Duke does that by making fellowship 4 yrs and really not geared for working outside academics. Columbia, I was told by my classmates, asks you during interview how you are going to fund your research in subsequent years.

I agree, except for CCF, THI - all the programs mentioned are "academic" programs. By the time you apply for fellowship, It is better to be honest with yourself to see what you really want and interview accordingly. If you are not, if you are doing disservice to yourself and no one else - if you are interested in research/academics apply accordingly and if you are interested in clinical/PP apply accordingly. As mentioned above, If your goal is to be clinical person and you end up at Brigham - both of you are going to be miserable since on their interview day, they guarantee you level 1 only - barely enough to sit for boards.

So for everyone the "prestigious" list for everyone is going to be different given different goals for the applicants :)

Be honest with yourself. This is what you're going to be doing for the rest of your life. No more need to BS that you "love research". If you want to be a real cardiologist, then go places like Duke, Texas Heart, CCF, Michigan, Penn. If you want to do research and occasionally talk to a patient and read an EKG, go to BWH, MGH, or UCSF.

Dude, you're talking to a guy who ranked Tufts over a lot of those programs. Shame on me for feeding the fire I suppose, but these forums are such an addictive way to kill time . :D

I'd say this though, if you're a 4th year medical student and you're evaluating residencies, a list like this can help you figure out what doors will be open at said program.

If a residency can match multiple people to some combo of those two groups, which are all damn selective fellowships, they'll probably give you a great shot at obtaining the cards program of your choosing down the road.

Hopefully, that info can help someone.

Agree that those are the clinical powerhorses; I think other univ programs that I would add include Emory, Vandy, UAB, Minnesota, Mt Sinai, Pitt
I dont know what to make of Mayo- its quite a unique place with its way of training people, location and history- I think it gears people for academics although most of them end up going to practice (and train for 4-5 years to get levels they need).

Seems like OHSU is a tough spot to land if you are an outside applicant. About 25-30 applicants for 1 spot? I am kind of concerned about Rush's match this year, 2/3 matched into H/O. Both matched to Rush.
