I'm on a benign heme rotation right now. My eyeballs are falling out. What programs should I eventually try to avoid if I don't want more than what is necessary for benign heme?

Allegheny General-West Penn program 8/1
Nivi - do you know if all programs in ERAS participate in NRMP? everything in this country cost money.. even if it's free, you'd have to be wary about the small fine prints.

I dont have much experience but based on past years threads perhaps you should apply much more broadly than to 30 places. The IMG factor + community affiliated residency will harm you, although you have great research background. No PhD I assume?
Your Europe experience should help you land some interviews for sure.
Similar situation here.
Take it easy. It's too early to be panic. We need to wait at least two more weeks.

Thanks for the suggestions, no i do not have a phd.
Think i will have to throw more money to ERAS.
I was told by someone that pre-match still exist and that they during the interview were offered...... Can anybody comment?

Thanks man. Best to you .
With your background, you shouldn't have to panic. My background is not anywhere near your level but I applied more broadly hoping to strike at a few places. does your community program has hem/onc fellowship? if it does, then your chance will be much better. Not all university residency program has Hem/Onc and so it doesn't really matter if you went to a community univ. affiliated program.

Applying is cheap. Do it.
Also, keep in mind that, if money is a major issue and you don't match, you can still "fall back" on a job as a hospitalist/PCP/UC/locums and make fat cash.
To the best of my knowledge, the MSMP (Fellowship Match) is not "all in" like the residency match program is, so yes, pre-matches are still possible.
how can i find out which programs offer prematch if they don't mention it on their websites? is it ok to ask at the interview? Thanks, Gutonc!
Hi
Your CV is very impressive and I think you will hear from programs very soon ( most send interviews through August)
Agree with everyone above who say that apply to more programs. As an IMG 40-80 is the average I have heard. I would shoot for at least 50 or so. Costs more 🙁 but important to increase our chances I think!

They'll tell you if they're interested. Don't ask, it makes you look desperate.
Hi Guys,
New to this forum, and have a quick question.
Do programs send interviews directly to your inbox without a notification coming into your eras message center? I am not sure what to make of such an invite from a program, a genuine IV or a misdirected email?

That is not true. GI and Cards are still more competitive than Hem/Onc. In fact, lately Hem/Onc private practices have been closing their doors because of deep debt. You will find reports on this if you google it. GI and Cards have procedures. In other words, you can still make a good salary even in private practice GI or Cards.
Hem/Onc is still moderately competitive but it appears that more and more people are applying lately. Even then, it is relatively easier to get than GI or Cards (arguably maybe even Pulmonary Critical Care).
If you need a visa, you will be restricted to where you can apply and will rule out some of the top programs. Otherwise, you should not have a problem matching this time.
Cali programs, mainly Stanford, tend to be the snobbiest and elitist compared to a lot of other great programs. "F*** Stanford" - quote from last year's thread! 😀
Our program accepted a non-US IMG based on an evaluation of a faculty member during a clerkship although that IMG's scores ranged from 190-215 (our program does not interview any IMG with less than 250). That IMG ended up receiving the best resident award in a class full of AMGs. Although we still use scores to filter out apps, LORs from good programs and faculty are given greater importance.
Working in a diverse program helped me understand people from different cultures a lot better, which will serve me well when I eventually start practicing in our increasingly diverse communities. Perhaps the West is not as diverse as the Northeast, so it doesn't matter if programs there don't train IMGs or need them in their communities?
most residency PDs would want a diverse group of residents who came every different corners of the world. However, it's the local patients/politicians/state boards that don't want to be treated by IMGs that make it difficult for the West to be as diverse as the Northeast. Once you're fully trained (board certified, etc.), then it's Ok b/c they (patients) know that you're qualified...
if you have first author in 5 research papers, you will have a chance at most university programs that offer J1 visa. I think there's someone here in this forum who has his own grant in California and he got most if not all of the early interviews thus far.. Don't worry!! You will get in.

My credentials.
Very Decent USMLE scores.
IMG and on J-1 visa.
Residency from a good university affiliated community program.
Chief resident position in an outside institute.
Away hem/onc rotation at top notch program with very good LOR.
Several posters presented at regional and national level. (14-16)
2 case reports, one first author and one second author.
Co-author in 2 research papers.
1st author in 5 research papers.
I will appreciate any input. Also please advise me what kind of programs should i go for. Do i stand any chance of securing a spot at mid to high tier program?
Thanks
I don't think it matters.. schedule with whatever schedule that is best for you. Are you a fellow already? You status said that you're a fellow... If you are then should have more experiences than most of us. R u applying for your 2nd fellowship?
