Idk if this is the right place for this but I was wondering if I know I want to do pediatrics (work experience, love kids) but probably in a children's hospital/inpatient setting, would this still be a good fit for me to apply to? I'm ofc not 100% set on what type of peds I want to do but I think the shorter program and guaranteed residency sounds amazing as long as I'm not locked in to outpatient primary care. TY!

Current students can report, but the training itself should not keep you from doing inpatient/hospitalist pediatrics. Do keep in mind there are only 6 spots for pediatrics. So it is up to you how comfortable you are with your chances here.

Where do I find the number of spots dedicated to each specialty?

@peacefulcurrent573 14 IM spots, 6 Pediatrics, 2 Gen Surg, 2 OB/GYN

Thank you

• peacefulcurrent573

The school has maintained the 24 spot class size, so I imagine the breakdown has remained the same.

Do people typically use the last prompt as a "why us?"
I feel like the program speaks for itself, if you are interested in primary care and shortened medical school, so not sure if it's really necessary

If I shadowed a doctor that specialized in the field that I want to talk about, but I don't have an LOR from him, am I shooting myself in the foot?
