Cardiolipin,

The Drexel people hadn't even responded to my emails. I got the invite, accepted it the same day. Never heard anything back. Then my schedule changed and I couldn't do the date the offered so I canceled, and still haven't heard back. Don't know what's going on over there....

I was wondering what people generally thought about applications this year? Does there seem to be less people applying in general? For the applicants that came through my program, many said that there seems to be less people applying this year compared to prior years from many of the traditionally large applicant pool programs (from my own program, we only have 3 applying when we usually have 10-15 a year).

I'm curious if this is due to the Medicare slashes in reimbursement for echo and nucs, or are people migrating more toward lifestyle specialties?

Last year there was 15 people at my program applying - this year there are 6. The number of people wanting to do cards hasn't changed, the rest of the people wanting to do it are just applying next year instead of this year...so I don't think there's really a good answer to your question.

 

[Prasugrel]

Hi Guys, any information on the fellowship program and interview experience at KUMC??

 

[IGHT]

Please, would someone share their opinion and what they know about the south Texas programs including UT-Houston, UTMB and Baylor. thanks

Sure. They don't contact you about your status and their websites have out of date information.

Hey, Bonza. Do you mind me asking which 5 program interviews do you have left? Thanks!

 

[Vtach00]

Congratulations Bonza. 5 is a good number. So programs still sending out new invites or are these the programs you had heard from before?
