Hi all. Hoping to get some input on this... I am applying into pediatrics and creating my program list. I plan to do fellowship in Neonatology, Pulmonology, or Heme/Onc. Given this, I am wondering what the general advice is on community programs. My home institution has given split advice... my direct advisor has said they're a no, while the division chief of our NICU said there's no rule against it, as long as I could still pursue scholarly activity to support my fellowship app. As I am applying with a partner not in medicine, geography is really a top consideration, and some community programs are in very geographically appealing places for us and the programs seem really interesting. I am just wondering if there is more consensus about this and if it's wise to apply, particularly given the advice to apply to a very low number of peds programs this year (~20). Thanks all.
