If all of your research is in one area of Cardiology (e.g. heart failure) and you are selected to the same fellowship program where you did the research because they think you will continue in that field is it easy to change later on?
For example, if you are expected to do heart failure research and pursue that career path (the reason they accepted you in the first place) how can one get a spot in interventional or EP later on? It is so competative in those fields that my feeling is that if you do not let your intentions known from the onset you will not be given a spot.
What is the best way and when is the absolute latest time to let a fellowship program know that you have changed your mind in order to have a real chance in interventional? Are most programs accepting of fellows changing their minds or do they generally discourage it?
