Hi folks,

I think I have gotten more interviews then I can attend. This might be a silly question, but what is the appropriate way to cancel/decline interviews? call or email?

Unless the interview is this week, it doesn't matter, just do it now. Right now. Maybe yesterday if you can figure out how to make that happen.

I don't think I ever had a phone conversation with any program during either my residency or fellowship applications, it was all by email.
 
So far, have Georgetown, University of Tennessee, University of Mississippi, and Virginia Commonwealth University

you interview basically at both the hospitals. Excellent opportunity for research/ world renowned faculty. Four years program - good if your career path is research/ academic nephrology.

John hopkins - did they send invitations out ?

Any one interviewed at Northwestern/Rush or U of Chicago
 
I would recommend avoiding Indiana University. I'm a resident at IU. I heard today that the program coordinator suddenly quit. Would strongly caution against going here as the dept does not communicate well, and since she is now gone, who knows what kinds of mistakes will be made. Best to avoid.

Don't worry dude, you'll match at IU. Good thing there's more than one position there, so no need to be a red herring. LMFAO
 
I recently resigned from nephrology fellowship after 2 month of joining , nephrology is waste of time , dealing with dialysis patients is not a fun at all, you learn every thing about nephrology in first one month then after that it will be just poring repetition , no good futur career after graduation , it is very difficult to find a job as a nephrologist and if you find any one it will be 120K in academic sitting , 150 general hospital and 160-170 in private practice , most of the jobs in remote areas , the health reforms are markedly affecting nephrology as nephrology has a single payor and under mercy if Medicaid , it is more productive , lucirative and easier to be hospitalist than nephrologist, do it only if you really love it.
 
What program did you resign ? Are they hiring new fellow ?

Isn't that NRMP violation ? I believe you can't resign in first 90 days else you receive lifetime ban on applying for fellowship in future
