Its actually not haha this is SDN where everything is competitive. Yes GI is very competitive (cards and heme/onc sorta competitive and the rest not really competitive at all) as far as IM fellowships go. Heck i wouldnt be surprised if you found a thread on here where someone said community peds is getting competitive

Family Med has been getting super duper competitive in the past 24-48 hours. That's so crazy, it's looking like Derm right now.

I remember a thread a year-ish ago where a USMD was being told to take a research year bc they wanted peds in the northeast and had a lowish step score.

This seems like an appropriate place to put this.

This seems like an appropriate place to put this. This is from the fellowship match last week.

Ahh the good ol facts

That’s actually last years data, which you can see as it’s dated February 2019 (and it’s released every year in Feb).

Lame. I didn't read it close enough, I just saw "new" on the NRMP website. My comment has been edited.

If there already is more applicants than spots for something like Endocrine, which is considered one of least competitive fellowships, what makes you think the future with increased IM residencies will be easier?

I think anyone with plans to goto a fellowship should go to a residency with those fellowships in house. Its hard advice even for me to follow. It sucks when the programs in the right locations are communiversity/ community and the ones with what you want are further from home.
