Hanging in there. Real nervous but whatever. I really don't mind earning 200000$ and having a chill life. That's the best 2nd option I have ever gotten in my life 🙂

Not bad, still checking my e-mail 20 times a day, hope dies last, so still waiting for some miracle. At least one thing I am happy about - I did not send any money to Rush, ha-ha.
How many interviews do my fellow IMGs have?
I am an IMG on J1 visa, 3 publications (on pubmed), 3 posters, USMLE scores 223/251/233 in a strong and well known community program.
Applied to a total of 110 programs
3 interviews (>10 rejections, maybe more)...
Should I be expecting a few more interviews or we are at the peak?

You should feel good.... I got no interviews and I applied to 110 programs too.... img/gc/university program mid tier/ scores 251/241/235 /good research ongoing/ one poster/multiple publications/basic science experience.....
Contacts is one thing....I am not losing hope though....
Me too.. They must really hate us
We should email them back and tell them we cannot accept rejections after business hours are over
Me too...
same here.
It is not necessarily truly competitive, it is bias as well in my experience - bias mainly against those trained in a community program and then against IMG. This is my 3rd year trying. Credentials: IMG, GC, 254/237/196, Masters in Research, Univ affiliated program, 2 years of dedicated research with 6 paper publications, 3 additional papers in press/revision (mainly first author papers), about 15 abstracts, award, involved in multi-site trials; great letters from reputed person etc, but so far only have 5 interviews. For me, it is just so sad that people in the field of science (I mean PDs) are so afraid to drift away just a little bit from orthodox tradition - i.e., those who have ivy league names after them can sell them almost in any academic program regardless if they are interested in research or not, while someone who is genuinely interested in research (especially in this era of funding) is not getting a chance despite maximum effort, just because he had to train in a University affiliated program because he was an IMG and took whatever he got for residency. Hope it helps.

Can always write to the PD and express your interest to return to the area. PD may not be from the same medical school as yours = no love I guess 🙂
Nope...
Well , from personal experience I can tell you that hospitalist is far from chill and you would earn every cent of that 200K. 😉 So better don't lose faith and it's gonna be all right.
Depends on the work ethics, and consult services available to you 🙂. I know plenty of hospitalists who will call consults at the drop of a hat.
A friend of mine (AMG, grad of a prestigious med school in manhattan, graduated 1yr ago) met w the Pulm Med PD at his own uni program told him that he will not be able to offer him an iv. reason #1 : there are already a bunch new grads this year who want to apply to their own program. reason #2: His papers are not first author.
This site has been a great support - so I made a login to add my one of only 2 invites so far 🙁

Northwestern vs u of Chicago, can't attend both interviews, any recommendations
Same here
Based on what you are looking for. For me, I am a better fit for Chicago. It all comes down to:
1. You clinical interests- procedures vs non-invasive
2. Your research interests- basic science vs clinical
GL
I interviewed at NW for residency and I liked it. I was under the impression that program was very cush. It is the same with fellowship? It is private hospital, does it affect autonomy. I know that u of Chicago has strong research but how about clinical training?
From what I have heard, Chicago has great clinical training program (They get TONS of patients and procedures). NW is private hospital and that does affect autonomy, but the are great at research. As I mentioned above, it's all about the fit!

Yes they sent out confirmations this morning.
Does anyone know about Cleveland Clinic in regards to clinical research? Without knowing anyone there, it seems that they have a great basic research program with Lerner institute and obviously strong clinical training. I could not find much about academic clinical trials and most seem to be corporate sponsored. Is this impression accurate? Thanks!
I have couple friends in the program. CCF is very much like Texas Heart. It's super busy and there are some opportunities to be involved with active research. Basic research (from what I have heard) is NOT the strong point for clinic. They have one of the sickest CICU though!
Which program is Texas Heart? Is it UT Houston? Baylor? Baylor/St Luke's? Thanks
Has anyone heard from Cornell?
St Luke's
Univ of Nebraska 8/25

No meaningful research. Community Program

Interview Dates are 9/21- 9/27
How is this program? Competitive?
What are my chances there? How many do they interview?

It's not a bad program at all. They also have interventional and heart failure fellowships which means that you will see advanced heart failure patients and EP procedures too.
If they have invited you to the interview it means that they liked you!
