Its December so needless to say im squaring up for next years rounds. If anybody is still answering to this thread I have a few questions.
I am contemplating signing up for an unaccredited Hospitalist/CMM with 7 months of CCM and 5 months of hospitalist work in a low-mid tier program. I currently am an IMG-US Citizen from community program, with 2 manuscripts ( 1 review article and 1 restrospective study), 1 underway (another review article), to low impact journals (IF 2-4), 8-10 Case reports at both regional and national conferences, with about 5 being published online (not pubmed indexed), 1 metanalysis poster. This year I applied pretty late in the game and very narrowly (early August to 10 programs). Would it be worth my time doing this fellowship or should I rake in the cash for a year as a hospitalist and try again early next year?
PS the unaccredited programs salary is about double of a fellow, in case this should be a factor in the equation.
