Hey! I was wondering if you guys could help me put together a ROL...Being a FMG it is a bit harder for me to know what programs have better reputations in respect to others. I did all my interviews already and these were the programs I liked the most:

-- Mayo Clinic Rochester
-- Cleveland Clinic (ohio)
-- Baylor College of Medicine (Houston)
-- Boston University
-- Johns Hopkins Bayview
-- Temple University.

My main goal is to get into a good cardiology fellowship upon completion of IM residency training. Of course I will not make my ROL straight from what you guys tell me here, but I want to hear your opinions so I can match them with my own opinion and then come up with my ROL.

Thanks a lot in advance and happy holidays to everyone! :thumbup: :)

Hey andreg. Sorry, I should have introduced myself shouldnt I? :D I'm a 23-year-old brazilian doctor (just graduated last week). Have been doing research since the first year of medschool (here in Brazil medschool takes 6 years) -- I've done research with patients with sickle cell disease, hypertension and lupus. I got 243 and 273 and my steps 1 and 2 CK respectively. Did a one month rotation at the cards department at Mayo Clinic in March this year, and got one recommendation letter from them. Got other 2 letters from brazilian doctors. Basically, this is me, nice to meet you! :thumbup: :)

The fact is that I love my country and my city (I live in Rio), and my family is all here. So I just wanted to make sure that , if I am to leave everything and everyone behind me, it has to be for something better. So I didnt apply to many places, and made sure that I would like to be trained in the ones where I actually applied to. I did my interviews in nov- dec, and like the programs above the most. I realize that cardio is super-mega-ultra competitive :scared: , and for that matter I want a residency program that can help me be a competitive cardio applicant. I know what I liked and disliked about all programs, but now I need some help in terms of reputation.... So do you think you (or anyone else) could give me some input?

Wish u guys good luck in your interviews! :thumbup:

Thanks!

I would rank them...

Mayo

BU / Baylor: toss up because I don't know much about the programs
Bayview - don't bother...
