I matched at a community program but was hoping for academic. Did it for my fiancé’s sake who basically needed to be in this area. Anyway, I am coming from a T20 USMD school and from med school I’ll likely have 3 first author manuscript pubs, 1 first author abstract, and a conference all in neurology (stroke to be precise) by the time July 1 rolls around.
My residency program pretty much only does QI projects… very few attending who are involved in any clinical research at all, and most of them seem to barely publish. It is affiliated with a university but the bulk of Neuro related research is PhD-bench work neuroscience. Hard to do meaningfully as a resident.
Of course I will take anything I can get, but if I can’t be very productive can I still match to great Movement or NM program with my med school research as the bulk of my scholarly activity? Or is it unlikely? MDS or NM are most interesting to me right now but I’m an M4 so I’m keeping an open mind. Def not interested in NIR and would be unlikely to break into anyway.
Is it a goof idea to reach out to other programs with more research and ask if I can do some with them? Issue is this is pretty much the only program in the immediate area, everyone else is 2+ hours away so would need to be virtual.
I know in general fellowships aren’t competitive but I would like to go to a great program (preferably in or near the Midwest), something like Rush, URochester, Michigan, etc.
Thanks!
