It’s probably like telling a joke. A good comedian makes the most ordinary thing interesting. I guess my point is it depends on how you talk about the case, which angle do you choose. Because every case has at least 2 party involved, right?
Actually I had this exact question and I had one case for each of these 2 meanings, I was always stating this question during the interview and the response I got was always ''whichever you want'', so I suppose both are correct, as long as it's interesting to you.
Thank you, appreciate the info
What did you say? Lol.
Happy to help
Should we post it here? I posted it on the rank list thread and nobody responded to me lol
This is AMG mainly right?
instapot lol
Nice. And I’ll be prepared for this question now.
let's just post it here to help everyone instead of moving to a new thread
I'd go with can opener. Not flashy or fancy, but efficient and reliably gets the job done everytime. Plus it's an opportunity to use the "can't opener" pun, which I'd imagine shoots you to the top of any rank list.
Great idea!
same! I even sent LOI
Do the in house fellowships take from within? And which program has a good track record of GI matches of IMGs?
No, unless you tell them.
same. and #3 Cook County
I think you have your pick of some very solid places. Most of them should allow you the opportunity to participate in research and pursue something as competitive as GI. So it should come down to location and certain intangibles like fitting in with residents, resident satisfaction and camaraderie, and then diversity of patho. Combine those criteria with the ones that have in house fellowships and I think you'll have a good idea of how to rank. At the end of the day, you should want a place with lots of research, good exposure, attendings who teach well, happy residents, and a good location. You may not get all of them so it's up to you to prioritize what's important.
Do you have research/ GI contacts? If not, pick the program that gets the most inhouse fellows (this can be tricky, some programs have inhouse GI fellowship but don't always take their IM residents). GI has become VERY competitive, don't pay that much attention to the reputation when the programs are very close to each other (I think your top 3 is very close to each other in terms of reputation, but others can confirm).
The only thing that 'scared' me with Mt Auburn is their GI match (almost nobody matched the past few years) and they don't have inhouse GI either....but on the other hand it's a pretty small program and maybe nobody was interested in GI (?) I did like the program a lot during my interview to be honest, and the location is amazing (and also they might sponsor H1b, even though they were not clear on that).
