Absolutely not!!!
Have a friend graduated from that program and he is currently practicing general cardiologist in his private clinic; all what he remembers two years spent for scut work and outdated research theories.
Would spend those years in a meaningful experience.

How do you guys rank
U of Minnesota
UT Houston
UCLA
Baylor
Cornell
UMKC
Northshore- Chicago

Ignore it. They may actually be honest, but there are programs out there that try to get applicants to rank them highly so the match works in their favor. Likewise, ignore silence from a program, some have a no contact policy.
Which program did you feel you'd fit best, both professionally and personally? UCLA likely has the strongest academic cred, but it's pretty academic/research oriented program and the clinical side seemed just ok, if you're not into research you may not be happy there. Baylor is fine but I'd put it ahead of UT houston.
Second year fellow here, any questions ? I am at a good university program in the east coast.
Would appreciate the forums insights on these programs as I finalize my list.

Guys WVU vs U toledo vs Lahey???
Penn is a notch above these other places from a purely “academic reputation” standpoint, whatever that means. My impression was that Penn was one of the top 5 programs in the country for someone interested in academics in terms of well-roundedness of the training and different sub-specialty strengths (Close to or on par with Duke, CCF, Columbia etc).
Thank you for your participation! How should we approach our top 3 programs on the rank list? Should we tell the first program that they are number one?
Very important question, you have to be careful here. Cardiology is a small world, you dont want to close doors in the future. Your number one program definetely tell them you are my #1 choice, your 2 and 3, make it clear they are high in your rank list, but don't tell them they are #1, you can use other words. Because if they rank you to match, and you lied, it wont reflect well. Just have that in mind. Be smart and play the game, but dont lie.
Good luck!
Anyone knows?
Thoughts on these programs?
Jefferson
Penn State
Case Western
Georgetown/Washington Hospital Center
My concerns:
Case Western western seemed not too enthusiastic to be there. Also, they spend their entire first year at the VA which seemed not that busy.
Georgetown's fellows seemed strong but one of the fellows mentioned that they dont have a structural program because the attendings dont want to be putting competition out into the community. That seems a bit crazy to me and concerns me that an academic center would have that mentality. Worried that mentality would leak into the rest of the program.
Jefferson's HF program only recently restarted.

Would rank Kansas & West Virginia over Geisinger.
Rochester and Iowa stands out above the rest to me on that list
Nebraska and UT Houston, then the rest.
Thoughts between nebraska and UT houson?
Toss up I think. Both are going to give you equally good clinical training.
I have an old colleague at Nebraska and he is happy there.
Kentucky has a great program. UK>USF>Mt. Sinai Miami
Do anyone has any insider info on Mount Sinai Beth Israel, NY? When is it going to close and what will happen to the fellows there? Would it be scary to match to a downsized almost dying hospital?
I am not surprised. My friend was eating my brain about that place for the longest time. He passed out that place way back when and he won't stop talking about it. I felt something weird during my interview but they hide it very well.
I have the same question man!! Also, as per NRMP report they went unmatched 2/4.. did they tell you anything about first years??
really? when did they go unmatched?
Any input on Lahey Clinic vs Mayo Arizona?

When is the deadline for applicants to certify ROL?
Nov 15th @ 9 p.m. EST, good Luck
Would prefer Mayo Ariz
Not really, my friend is doing it... it doesn't help in any research career these days.. I know that they have hard time recruiting fellows as most applicants don't like to spend an extra year in lab work for nothing

Hey guys, any specific reason why USF > Mt Sinai Miami? Thanks in advance!!

thanks, you too
Anyone have any thoughts on creighton or U of I Peoria
Both of them are pretty similar. I felt creighton was slightly stronger in interventional, whereas peoria was better in imaging. Creighton has better winters 🙂

What an impressive list, don't know all the programs but from what I know about these places
U of Minnesota
UCLA
UT Houston
CORNELL
BAYLOR
UMKC
NORTHSHORE
Although I would based ranking also on what you plan to do and what location you are more interested in

Thanks. I felt that they're both solid community programs with good training in EP and echo. To me the only difference was the Mayo name.
What do you think about USF Tampa compared to those two? Appreciate your input.
The exposure to heart failure and transplant would be great in Tampa. And I maybe biased but I might just rank it higher purely based on location too
Imaging (CT/MR) and echo is strong at nebraska. Nuclear read by radiology. Interventional volumes are lower and weak in peripheral. I don't have an idea about any other programs.

Thanks a lot. Can you elaborate on why you think Mayo is stronger than Lahey?
