Does anyone have any knowledge of applying to Endocrinology Fellowships? I am currently in a east coast ivy affiliated hospital. The affiliation is surprisingly tight to the main university. I am applying for endo fellowships in Ca. Does anyone have any advice on any programs, quality of life, or general rants or raves? From what my PD says, I am a strong applicant for endo fellowships. Currently I have twenty-seven publications, in endocrinology, cardiology, thyroid, and stroke.
I also have a PhD, which I am not sure if that helps.

Any help or information would be great.

Thanks,

With qualifications like that, and considering the current competitiveness of endo, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to go nearly anywhere that you want.

It is a known fact that a nobel prize is a pre-requsite to getting into an endocrinology fellowship

You should be able to get your fellowship of choice. A strong research background makes you an ideal pick for academically oriented programs, wnad 27 publications is probably as much as many junior faculty. Best of luck.

And even then, it's all about your performance at the interview.

i agree with the above statements. Those qualifications should get you plenty of interviews. Don't be shy from applying to the big guns like UCSF, Stanford, Brigham. Get ready to articulate yourself about why you like the specialty and what you hope to contribute to it, and your research interests. You may interview with as many as 7-8 attendings so that often is the deciding factor. If one attending doesn't like you, it could hurt you. Fellowship programs are much smaller entities than residencies so the approval of many faculty is needed prior to acceptance.

I actually made a mistake in my first posting. I have 37 publications, some international some in the US. I must also say, I am from Europe and I am married to a US Cit. so Visa is a non issue. I went to medical school in my home country of Poland, so I am not sure if that matters.

Once again, thank you for your help.

Your international medical school diploma shouldn't be a large factor believe it or not. For example, I know of several FMGs and IMGs and DO's who have obtained fellowship in the UCLA system in endo, cards, nephro, gi...etc.

On the other hand, having US Citizenship is a big deal. I was told by department chiefs that non-citizens are problematic in regards to hiring for fellowship.

Well, UCLA and its sister hospitals in LA share their applicants and rank together among them for above fellowships. The best ones stay at UCLA. The real UCLA fellows are very, very few. The rest of them are from VA, Harbor, Oliv-, Cedar, etc, etc...

I agrees that there are many FMG and DO in above fellows. If you work hard, it can happen definitively. US Citizenship helps a lot. But I also know a few Us med graduates from NYU with "H1 Visa" who got heme/onc fellowship at MSKCC (Memorial Sloan) and GI/Card in NY. Anything is possible.

You are mostly correct, but i won't hijack this thread to clarify. PM me if you want to know the details.

I would also add that putting your citizenship status on your resume is recommended. Don't laugh, but a fellowship program director told me that. But I agree that all of this is superfluous to hard work, and that's for sure.

I know that they wont consider you with 37 publications just because you are from Poland. If you were from anywhere else you would have a chance. Just kidding, I don't know anything about it. Good luck though. Your resume sounds impresive to me for what it is worth.

Not sure what the Poland comment means, but I feel like I have a great education. I can see your point if I went to a 4 year eng. program, but not my home country program.

frankly, i don't think that 27 publications is nearly enough. now if you had 28 or 29 then maybe you'd have a shot. oh, and the PhD will probably hurt your application. good luck.

WOW, you have been a great help. I wonder what high school you attend. Good luck with the SAT.
