Just have a question for those with more experience. I about to graduate and wondering if a fellowship for next year (2010) is still possible. I know it is probably too late, but I thought I would just see if anyone had any advice.
Fellowship?

Anything is possible, but likely the good positions are gone.

In what field? Agree with above that better spots are gone. Not to say that average spots can't meet your needs.

I think I sent in my pediatric fellowship applications in May. Two of the eight programs I applied to were already full at that time, one of those later had a spot open up when someone backed out. Based on that and the months that have passed since May, I would say that yes, most of the better spots are probably gone. However, I would argue that it isn't two late to apply for several reasons 1) Some people holding spots might change their minds and you could get a spot late in the year, 2) Almost all the programs offering fellowships will probably provide excellent training. It's not as if many low-end programs offer fellowships. 3) Lots of good fellowship positions go unfilled each year, so it is really never to late to apply.

Regional is unaccredited...you may likely be able to get a spot somewhere.
Pain- Not to make you feel bad...but it's waaaaaaaaay to late, I would almost say at this time it would be impossible to get a spot. This year around was very competitive and most places are already filled

You can definitely get a regional spot - the supply is unlimited.
