[AllIfearIsGod]

I think it depends on where you want to practice, and what kind of job you are looking for (private/academic). if you want to do private, of course go to the higher volume clinical oriented programs.

Some of the programs with high volume other than the ones you mentioned, I heard the following Brown 400+, Mount Sinai 500+, William Beaumont 500+, UAMS 500+ and I am sure there are many others.

thank you for the input.. what about MSU? i heard its a high volume program too. any thoughts on programs in california?

 

[limatolad]

Has anyone heard from programs in DC, Philly, NYC, Boston, LA, SD, SF? It seems that last year they sent emails before Dec 24. We may have to wait until 2017.

This process sucks. Makes you appreciate the way the match works.

Right? I was excited to not have another match. This is much worse.

 

[Kemo]

Yes agree. Some programs start now, some after new year and others start on February/March. No match statistics and data.

 

[buffalobills]

Emory has filled up their positions as well.

 

[AlphaDavid]

Interview at Baystate. Dates ( 1/5, 1/12, 1/19, 1/26). Anybody has information about this program? training? numbers?

I received a message from Mt. Sinai asking for procedure logs today. No interviews yet. Anyone else heard anything?

I got a message from MSSM for procedure log today. Did you guys print New Innovations log or got it signed from cath lab director? Some of the things are absurd, like CTO PCIs, STEMI PCIs. complications?

Is the number of procedures done a criteria of selection? I have done like 150 odd LHCs in 18 months of fellowship so far. are they too few? any words of wisdom will be appreciated.

I found this absurd as well. Renal and cerebral as primary operator?! ASD/PFO closures?! Really anything as primary operator after 18 months of gen cards training seems like a stretch besides diagnostic R/LHC. I filled this out through my logged data and had our cath lab director sign it. I had around 250 LHC and like 40 RHC, we're a high volume center but I'm honestly not sure at all if that is a lot or a little ? I've only had 2 months of cath so far and our program does 4-6 depending on elective choices. We have interventional fellows so they are primary operator/fellow on IVUS, FFR, angiojet, any PCI etc at least for the first 6-8 months. I mean I snagged a balloon pump or two and put in so fem closure devices, but I cannot imagine this is weighed too heavily in selection criteria...any input at all would be appreciated.

 

[limatolad]

I wonder why interventional fellows at MSSM come from second/third tier programs (http://icahn.mssm.edu/education/res...list/msh-interventional-cardiology-fellowship). I assume that they send invitations so late in the cycle that all the candidates from top tier hospitals are taken.

i think it has more to do with malignancy of program. IC fellows are not treated nicely and fellows are made to feel worse than interns at times.. having said that it is one of the better programs out there

I had heard about the long hours, but I was not aware of how nasty the MSSM attendings could be.

All the fellows from the website appear to have Indian origin name or from India. Either a lot of super qualified indians apply there or it is the preference of the program?

Interesting. It seems that the MSSM program is racially and ethically biased.

Probably you don't have an Indian-like last name,

Im with you, haevnt heard anything from them after they asked for procedure logs. Buffalobils, did they ask you for procedure log or anything else?
Thanks

 

[icfellow2016]

Probably you don't have an Indian-like last name,

Didnt hear you complain about all the jewish names!

 

[caspase1124]

We always complain about how bad IMG bias is in general cardiology. Its amusing that there is IMG favoritism at Mount Sinai interventional cards program. Well be aware of one thing, if you go to pubmed and search the publications you may find that most of these fellows have at least 30-40 papers in reputable journals. Now in general cardiology most cardiology PDs especially in top institutions tend to overlook these publications merely due to fact that they are IMGs but when you are sub-specializing with in cardiology these credentials may come out superior as ultimately academic programs need dual intent people; people who can do clinical and research work at the same time.

 

[caspase1124]

Interesting. It seems that the MSSM program is racially and ethically biased.

Yes we can say same thing about majority general cards program as they do tend to discriminate IMGs as well.

 

[ICguy]

Is anybody getting any interviews?? or is it still early ??

 

[limatolad]

Is anybody getting any interviews?? or is it still early ??

You can see that at least 11 programs (out of 106 programs listed in ERAS; ~ 10-11%) already sent invitations. It is possible that more programs already sent invitations but this was not posted here.

 

[cards23]

Applied to MSSM after reading on here. They sent a rejection saying they weren't accepting any more applicants. But they had no problem taking my fee.

 

[cards23]

I have 2 interviews and 1 rejection.

Interview- methodist houston
2/6,2/9,2/10

Can anyone throw some light on programs in Houston? There seem to be quiet a few.

I interviewed at all of them for general fellowship - Don't remember a lot about Methodist's numbers. They are probably middle of the road. I liked the general fellowship though. I ranked them fairly high.

I know that UT Houston has really good volume. Probably the busiest in the Med Center. Really good TAVR experience. One of the guys there now has over 70 TAVRs, half as the primary operator. at the half way point has about 200PCIs and 41 peripherals. Get to see tandems - I know the IC fellow goes in for those sometimes. 2 call days a week and every 3rd weekend. for IC. Expect they will have 2 internal people and probably offer 1 outside spot.

Texas Heart has good numbers/training but I think they pretty much fill internally or from Baylor every year. There has been a lot of movement from practitioners after they were bought by CHI.

I believe Baylor filled internally as well.

Yes, someone sent me a message.

Yes, someone sent me a message.

Well that seems like a hoax message.. I know a fellow in the program who has applied for IC, they have been taking internal candidates for last 5 years and dont even interview external candidates and havent even reviewed the applications this year.. People should refrain from such hoax messages.. unless he/she is referring to creighton program..
