This cleary suggests... competitiveness
1.GI
2.Endo
3.Cardio
4.Heme onc
5.Nephro
6.Rheum
7.PCC
8. Allergy and Immunology
9. ID
stats are sayin..m not buddy...
this is competitiveness on basis of spots avaialble and applicants...
if youconsider only applicants number pulmonary will be higher...but the spots avaialbe for fellowship is higher too...many community programs have pulm fellowship coz they need icu fellows.
while endo is solely in university setting...and very few spots..no.of applicants are higher compared to available spots..thats why it becomes more competitive...
so yes PCC is competitive but spots available are many...so its way low on the list...
Not this nonsense (again)
I seriously lack the energy to describe why the list described above is stupid garbage, especially to someone that posted it in all seriousness.
I'm going back to the regularly scheduled programming.

Pulmonary medicine is so uncompetitive in Mexico that the CIRPHS was forced to make it a direct route specialty last year like Neurology and Dermatology are in the US to try to increase the # of Pneumologists in the country. I think there's like only 150 of them in the entire country and Tuberculosis is rampant everywhere.
The list in the US doesn't surprise me. Cardiology, Gastro and ED are also the most competitive subs of IM (not to mention Dermatology which isn't direct route). Geriatrics was also uncompetitive to such a degree that they were also forced to make it a direct route specialty last year. There's only 200 geriatricians in the entire country and thousands and thousands of unemployed Pediatricians because there's less children than before.
why nephrology is so low on the list? I thought nephrology make more money than ID/ENDO/rheum and slightly less than the pulm.
