How hard is it to match Sleep Fellowship with Family Medicine background?

Since FM is only 3 years, I'm considering this path. I would prefer it over neuro or doing IM + Pulm/CC. Anyone know how hard it would be to match?

I'm getting a D.O. if that matters at all.

It's easy enough to do it through FM. Plenty of unfilled spots.

I am a DO and I did FM. I am in a sleep fellowship now. Lots of unfilled sputs.

How do you like that combo? Do you plan on doing mixed FM/Sleep or go mostly into sleep?

It's ok so far. I am mostly looking at 100% sleep jobs. There are a lot of pulm and neuro only jobs, but a lot don't care that you're not a traditional sleep medicine candidate. Hybrid jobs are hard to find.

Why is sleep going unfilled now? Is the market becoming saturated?

Market has collapsed as reimbursements on procedures has drastically reduced. I assure you it is purely monetary motivated.
