I’m a DO/PhD at a top DO school on 3rd year clerkships. Targeting IM for residency.
My stats: USMLE 238, COMLEX 626 (76%)
My research: NIH F30 scholar, 37 publications (including JAMA, JAMA Onc, Annals of Onc first author).
I am choosing between staying at my home institution with very strong research and clinical mentors/training in place and leaving for another institution. My home institution does not have a heme/onc fellowship and no heme/Onc service in the hospital. Only heme/Onc rotation is local, but offsite.
Would staying at my home institution significantly impact fellowship opportunities? I’m not sure what is important to fellowship programs, and how much residency training with heme/Onc exposure matters. I am not holding out for a Top 10 program, but would want a respectable heme/Onc fellowship.
