I'm a PGY2 so there's still lots of time left ahead...but I've been doing some soul searching about what I'd like to do once I finish training. I've read most of the threads on here about pros and cons of doing a fellowship and which one to do, so this isn't really a question of: should I? The only fellowship I've got an interest in at this point is CL. And it's really out of intellectual curiosity and feeling that I'd like to be more well rounded than a feeling of need or a thought that it'll advance my career (not particularly gunning for an academic professor type job).
With that said, I've got (as always) a small caveat. As the sole provider for my family, we can't be going to NYC or somewhere else with an astronomical cost of living. From what I've read, most of the fellowships that offer training to make it worth it are in NYC. I've been looking to see if there are some outside of the real expensive areas...and have found a couple? I'm just curious if anyone has first hand knowledge of the training, environment, etc of these places and wouldn't mind commenting.
Mayo (rochester)
Inova Fairfax
UPMC
Vandy
UNC
Cleveland Clinic
LSU New Orleans
Random list? Probably. I'm mostly looking for the best possible training while avoiding a huge metro area (is that possible?)
Any others that would fit this? Thanks for your thoughts!
