If you don't mind me asking, why are Presence St. Francis and St. Joseph so high on your list, above for example Mt Auburn or UPMC Pinnacle

depends how confident you are about your chances
I’m currently working as a clinical assistant at an osteoporosis clinic to show that I’ve been clinically active Incase I don’t match and to make some money
I think there’s no harm in chilling till end of March, you’ll still have five months until September Incase you don’t end up matching but have some plan on what you will be doing In the event that you don’t match, like potential observerships. You can also take the step 3 if you haven’t already and get it out of the way.
How works u rank these programs. Need visa. Competitive fellowship like cards, gi.

Hey! Have you had your interview there yet? I'm curious to know what you think about the place.
Non-US IMG, Interested in GI fellowship, cannot decide between UConn Categorical and Medstar Washington for ROL purposes . Confused on whether I should rank an affiliated program over a university program even though I slightly liked Medstar better . It also has better GI fellowship matches than UConn categorical but people keep telling me that a university program holds more standing later on for fellowships / jobs later on . Any thoughts on the two ?

Are they going to be in the Match?
can you do that on a tourist visa or do you need a work visa for that?

hey
so i have a couple of seniors in both presence and they really like it there the faculty and the opportunities
plus I got the idea that mt Auburn doesn't have a good fellowship match rate and Pinnacle has tedious working hours by talking to the residents.
please give in your suggestions too if you know anything about these programs .thankyou
What dates are available?
I assumed Yes but now that you ask... it's not written on the invitation. I presume that it would be if it was pre-match.
AM and PM sessions almost every day until the ranking deadline

hey guys i just realized, a program i iv'd at has 20 spots but around 4-5 in that are primary care to which i haven't applied? should i apply now to that too just to increase my chances of matching into this program? they obviously have more ambulatory blocks than categorical residents ..can primary care residents get subspecialty fellowships later?
I’m not sure I’m doing it in Canada and I’m from there so I didn’t need visa. I would assume you would need an H1b from your employer.

I would recommend picking a thread and sticking with it. You don't need to spam your list all over the forum.
Why did you put Cook over Arkansas?

hey anyone did or want to do second look at a program? I'm asking about a program that offered second look during the presentation, yet no answer to the email? should I email again, or take it as a sign of dis-interest/won't rank me?
I interviewed at Nassau University medical Center, although it has a rep of being malignant, it didnt seem that way to me on the interview day (gut feeling) and I had decided to rank them quite high but I have just heard some news that the actual public hospital is in a lot of financial distress, what does this mean for me?
Is this going to be Hahnemann 2.0?
Is the program going to shut down, do public hospitals shut down?

Yeah, sorry about that.
Hey!!! I remember you. We IV'd together at UT Memphis I believe. Loved my IV day with them.
Lol yes it was a great experience! What do you think about that program in comparison to the other two?
That PD was the most arrogant person I have met. What did you like about the program?
WOodhull is still interviewing? It is a primary care program, so if you are interested in fellowships, seems like it might be more difficult. Otherwise pretty chill interview. One interview with faculty and one with PD. The faculty will likely ask you a couple behavioral/medical questions. PD read though my app in front of me and talked about my red flags.

Would really appreciate your help on this guys, some thoughts on wright center
1. Being primary care, does it limit chances to cards fellowship to its own program only,
2. it's a large program, hence so many would compete for just 3 spots for cards in house
3. how competent would someone feel at the end of 3 years in categorical IM with so much clinic schedule
should this be ranked above a community program with no inhouse cards fellowship but good training

also good people, please can someone guide with fellowship match rates for wright (asking for competitive ones)
Try calling them if they haven’t responded to you and you really want to do a second look. There’s a ton of reasons why the coordinator might not have responded to you (most likely because they get a bunch of emails) and I’d bet my right kidney it isn’t a sign of disinterest haha

My review is going to be skewed at best as I didn't IV at Einstein Philly nor Wayne State. Liked UT Memphis, the residents were chill, the facility and faculty impressive. The biggest minus for me is the city, Memphis. And this is my perspective after rounding up with interviews and seeing other programs. Can't speak to the other two.
I didnt meet with the PD in person, felt that the residents got along pretty well with each other, lot of in house fellowships, the residents did say that it is a busy program, PD in her presentations seemed a little frivolous but long island is a great place to be, the airports are quite close
Just want to make sure that I can change the rankings even after I certify it. Is that correct?
