Not that I'm aware of....but why is this question so urgent?
My residency application is soon and I'm torn between two specialities I really love, but I don't know if they'll be the appropriate lifestyle for me

There are research focused programs in Peds where you do two years of residency and four of fellowship. So the same number of years overall but you get to fellowship faster. Not sure if that is what you are asking about or not.

If this advice is at all helpful, my program offers the 2 year fast track and only one person has ever taken the opportunity. The reason being (as they explained to me) is that 3rd year of general peds residency tends to be pretty chill, and they want to enjoy their personal lives since you do the same total amount of training anyway. Also, you have to stay at the same program for fellowship if you do the fast track option, and they wanted to be able to interview broadly.
I know two people taking the fast track. They're both heme onc and are research monsters
True dat, the person who fast tracked at my program had a PhD
