Does the NIH have any residency programs? Does it have a medical school attached to it?

I believe that there are practicing doctors associated with it. If so, do they have resident support?

 

[donvicious]

Yes to the first part. Not sure to the second. I don't see why they would need to have a medical school affiliation though.

Check out their website. Each department should describe their residency programs. At least Rad Onc does.

 

[retroviridae]

no residency, although they do have fellowships.

They definetly have a pathology residency.

I just checked Freida. It seems they have quite a few residency programs. Would any be ranked in the top 10?

The vast majority of the programs in your list are fellowships, not residencies.

 

[retroviridae]

disclaimer, I am in IM, so all my knowledge is IM-centric. NIH has only Fellowships for IM/Pedi and all are quite prestigious. They are good for those wanting to do research and enter academic medicine as a clinician scientist. For those who want to do purely clinical research or just enter private practice, NIH would not be the best place to go.

I can tell you from personal experience (I interviewed) that the Medical Genetics and Pedi/Genetics programs are indeed residency programs. The others I can't speak to.

 

[RexKD]

The ones without parenthesis to the right are residency programs.

6 residency programs.

10 fellowships.

I don't know of any well-accepted ranking system for residency or fellowship programs. The concept of Top 10 in residency or fellowship programs is largely anecdotal or based on research funding (which I'm not sure is an appropriate measure of quality). You'd really have to go by word of mouth from those in the field you are interested in.
