You can't match in "caridilogy" or cardiology, for that matter. It's a subspecialty of internal medicine for which you need to complete a 3 year fellowship following your internal medicine (or peds., if you want to do peds. cardiology) training.

Matching in peds, is not that competitive, although the really good programs will probably be more difficult.

P.S. - I hope you're not really a medical student with that spelling...

Actually you can match in pediatric cardiology if that is what the OP was trying to ask and that is the current usual way of getting a position. The match in pediatric specialties is held at the end of the PL-2 year. That is, it is not a direct match from medical school which is a good thing as some people change their mind about pediatric specialties during their first two years of training.

has all the stats one could ask for about the most recent match nationally.

Thanks. Also, can Pediatricians make ~ 200K / year in East LA?

I think that this is double posted in pre-allo (likely where it belongs).

Pre allo was closed. Matching is an allo concern.

While within the realm of possibility, this sounds high to me as an "expected" income for peds.

It's probably more appropriate for the specialty forums in that case. It just doesn't seem like a valid concern for med students, and it doesn't appear that the OP is a medical student.

We can't evaluate salary potential in Los Angeles 8+ years from now.
