I was wondering if someone could fill me on how big a role research/publications play in the selection process for a cardiology fellowship. I understand this is most likely institution specific but we are talking in general here.
I assume most people who apply have been involved in some kind of research and probably have a publication or two. Can having above average research (for example, research leading to publication(s) in major cardiology journal(s), etc.) make an average or below average candidate (average/poor board scores and/or medical school grades) into a competitive one?
