If you trained at a good program, and just want to practice community peds hospital medicine, you shouldn’t need that fellowship

please don't

 

[DeadCactus]

Honestly curious, why are you doing this fellowship? Are your advisors/mentors supporting this route?

Well, last year there were 79 applicants for 56 spots. So I'd say yes, people are doing this fellowship.

Keep in mind, last year the practice pathway was still open.

If they are only fellowship training 50-60 people a year it clearly is required for employment

Sad. These folks don't know their worth.

You're not wrong, but I don't think most people applying to these fellowships want to work strictly in community hospitals. I think they want to teach and work in an academic setting. I think this will rapidly become a defacto requirement in such settings. I don't like it, but it's the way it is now, so people who want to be academic hospitalists are lining up for the fellowships.

All this is is a way for corporations, oh I mean academic institutions, to exploit cheaper labor. You're deferring over 300k of income. Silly.

It only becomes a de facto requirement if enough people are scared enough to get in line for two extra years of servitude and loan deferment.

PHM fellowship is 2 years

 

[Splenda88]

Why would a peds physician need a fellowship to practice hospital medicine (something they have done throughout residency)? We are suckers because we keep letting these people take advantage of us.

Next thing will be IM hospital medicine fellowship... or FM primary care fellowship.

It might be more if it's a 2-year fellowship...

Big academic centers like Vandy, Emory, University of Miami will cause the downfall of medicine... They are training NP to be everything by having a bunch of B$ NP 'fellowships'

Depends on the program. Several are three years.

True. Not sure what the advantage would be, other than more time to develop an academic CV.
