Official 2020-2021 Rheumatology Fellowship Application Cycle

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I am the stalker here from hem/onc thread lol.
It’s very slow for us as well.
Endocrine is doing pretty well too.

I feel like the interviews are moving so much slower in comparison to other specialities. Not sure what to make of it. :meh:

i think it’s a three fold issue.

1) the format in which this thread is using to identify interview invites is pretty granular and can be used to easily identify a candidate. i think this can discourage someone from sharing their interview invites.

2) also, theres only so many spots for rheum and the cat is out of the bag in terms of “rheum lifestyle” i imagine all the programs are inundated with interviews, especially when paired with tele-interviews as the only barrier to access.

3) covid has backed-up gme at all levels. given rheum is typically a smaller department, i imagine this is slowing down the usual workflow of reviewing apps.

agree, I’ve been stalking the other threads and infectious disease especially seems to be on fire.
Rheumatology seems to be the most sluggish. Some Cardiology programs apparently stopped taking applications after August 14

Rheumatology has severe arthritis- can't move fast!!

Any visa requiring IMGs heard anything? It’s very quiet here.

Does anyone have any experience making one of those big google spreadsheets that can be edited by several people? I do think having more anonymity would probably entice more people to put their interviews out there so we have more of an idea of what is going on...

This year is very competitive - even more competitive than when I applied 2 years ago. At our program, we have had over 200 applicants for our 3 spots - so >60 people competing for each spot on average.
Typically programs will send out interview invites in a ratio of 10:1 - example, 3 spots for this year = 30 interviews sent out.
Good luck to everyone. Rheumatology is definitely a special and rewarding field :)
 
any northeast invites?
It looks pretty slow. I can only see Boston University in the list. I don't see any NY programs as well. Not sure if it is not updated here or they really had not sent out any.

How many interviews would you all say would be “safe” to match in this odd covid year? I only have three interviews so far and I’m freaking out.

Same here. I was hoping something this week. But it is so slow in my side.

IMG - no visa needed.
Applied to 50 programs.

3 Pre-September is a good sign.
Last year when July 15 was the start, majority of interviews came in August. So based on that same proportion, majority should come in Sept

Hope so. But with the timing squeezed, it will be difficult to schedule. Hoping next week will be good.

Does anyone know if fellowships are interviewing more people this year since there are more people applying to more places?

Yes programs will definitely be interviewing more people for every spot.
 
^I have some friends in cardiology that said a few programs have stated they are interviewing the same number of people.. but then my PD said programs are probably going to interview 10% more

It would make sense for programs to interview more candidates for sure
