How much do we really need to worry?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I’m cool with all of these except Peds and Psych. Also does that include most IM subspecialties?

General IMs w/o in-house Cards or GI fellowships are easy to get into.

If your aspiration is GI or Cards, you need average Step 1 and Step 2 and go to a decent IM residency w/ in house fellowships. Afterward, it's up to your in-house IM residency exams, your ability to play well with others, research, and your Step 1 + Step 2. Those factors are in that order of importance. My source is a current Cards fellow who will bank close to 500K - 1 mil out of fellowship, depending on generated RVUs.
