Hello everyone. Trying SDN for the first time, would like to get some inputs with whole residency-fellowship match fiasco.
I'm a first year IM Resident at one of university affiliated community programs and gung-ho on going into cardiology post residency. The university itself has fellowship spots but I was wondering if it is at all possible to match at one of prestigious places after doing residency at a place like mine. My program is fairly new and haven't really had graduates out to see what places they go into. The university itself is pretty old and the main program from the university is decently established.
Realistically speaking what would you say my chances are to get into fellowship from a new program if I work extremely hard, get some studies published and have good LoRs??
Given how competitive fellowships are these days do you think I would have even remote chance of matching at a big program or even at a decent place?
