How much upward mobility is possible(from ed school to a path program) in path matches. At this point I''m intersted in a dermpath fellowship, and I know that I need to go to a top path program to have a better shot at one. It looks like my choices in med school might come down to emory vs, the medical college of georgia.
Is it likely for a nonphd/md candidate with good step 1 scores and some elective path rotations at good programs(besdes emory) to make the transition from emory to an institution like MGH, Hopkins, etc. I know emory is often considered top 10-15 in path, so it's not like i would be dissapointed to end up there, but I'd like to know the possibilities of making the jump from a top 20 med school like emory to a top 5 path program.
And as for MCG, I know JH and MGH would probably be out of the question, but what about path programs like Emory, Duke, etc which aren't quite top 5 but are certainly top 10-15 programs. Is that jump possible?
