bump.

I'm interested in an academic career too but I'm a third year student now.

OP, did you get any more answers about this question?

Hi skraMD. I did my residency in FM at Harbor-UCLA in California and I actually just completed their faculty development fellowship and it was great to explore academics and build up some teaching skills. I know that is not on the list of your programs but I thought it'd be worth mentioning. Here's the link for more info: http://harborfm.com/fdfellowship.php

In my opinion, a university based academic hospital will be better if you are interested in academics since they will probably have more opportunities for teaching med students, research projects/opportunities, and just networking in general. Hope that helps and best wishes.
