I have the same dilemma..I'm torn between critical care& Cards But I'm more of NON invasive cardiology/preventive cardiology not EP or Interventional..I'm happy seeing Heart failure patients gets well...One thing that makes me fear at with cardiology is its competitiveness..I'm from a University affiliated Community Hospital and I don't have any research/articles except for case reports presented to ACP yearly...I can get LORs from 1 attending that revoulutionalize Plavix and from a cardiologist from a University Hospital(University of MD& Johns Hopkins after my Heart failure rotation)...
I'm also interested with critical care as i practiced critical care for 5-6 yrs as a nurse before and i can get LORS from head of MICU& other CC/Pulmo attendings and I guess I have more chance of getting a CC/Pulmo fellowship than Cardiology fellowship BUT I love cardiology.. but how can I be more competitive? as I dont have much onterest with research..Kindly somebody help me to decide..
