I've been told by several program directors that they received significantly more applications than normal this year. I know a couple of programs that added some interview days to accommodate the influx of applicants also. N=1, but I know at my program about twice as many people applied to pulm crit as normal.

To those folks applying both CCM and PCCM:
Be really careful about what PD said during your interview. I interviewed at one of the PCCM programs. The PD saw me and the first thing he said was "You have done so much work. I really like you. I think you will do really well. Please come to our program. The only weakness of our program is XXX, I hope you don't mind." He made me think that I will match there for sure. Then I came back, talked with my co-resident. Apparently, he told her the same thing. Then I came into one of my seniors, who matched to PCCM last year, but fell down his rank order list. He told me that that PD did the same thing to him last year, and he did not match into that program even ranked it higher.
So, if you have a decision to make between CCM vs PCCM, do not take that PD's word seriously. You will risk being unmatched if you reject a prematch offer and come into match hoping that PD will take care of you.

Thanks for the insight. Are you taking a CCM position? If not, how are you ranking your PCCM programs?
 
Can someone please share their interview experience at UNC chapel hill. Thanks in advance
 
OK! Super quiet group this year..... patiently waiting to start discussing pros and cons of programs for ROL.
 
How would you rank the following programs
Drexel univ
Cook county
Univ of Tennessee Memphis
Texas A&M

Any input on Montefiore medical center in NY? All I can find on SDN is a negative review from 2013.
Click to expand...

Don't know much about it personally, but got interviewed by a faculty member that went for fellowship who seemed like they appreciated their time there, but it was very very busy, heavy clinical focus, but after you come out of it, clinically there won't be anything you can't handle. Though seemed like they were happy to go somewhere else after..

Having difficulty with my rank list. What would you guys rank higher/what do u think is a better program- USF in Tampa or UT San Antonio?
 
Hey guys, any review on Virginia Tech/ Carilion Clinic as well as St. Elizabeth's in Boston?
 
Does anyone have insight into the NYC programs? Specifically Columbia vs Cornell vs NYU vs Sinai. Sounds like Columbia does a lot of ECMO, transplants go to Columbia and NYU...the New York Presbyterian (Columbia, Cornell) hospitals seem to have a much better salary too.

Not sure if you're looking for insight on the details of the programs, but my impression from talking to folks is that reputation-wise, Columbia >> Cornell, NYU, or Sinai, particularly in terms of research. I only applied to Columbia for this reason, then canceled that interview anyway so can't comment on any details.
 
Any reviews about Brown University PCCM and St Louis University PCCM?

Can't speak about St Louis. But I really liked Brown, seems like they get good clinical training, actually manage their own airway which is pretty unique at least on NE. Also seemed like they do have resources for research and are trying to make it a bigger component, and Dr. Elias seems great. I also really dug the faculty there, all seemed down to earth.

Would appreciate any insight, particularly if you think I should switch this order at all

1. nyu
ucsd
stanford
uc davis
yale vs brown
mt sinai

Ultimate goal is to stay in academics, clinical training and clinical research. Airway a definite plus for me.
 
Does anybody know anything about University of New Mexico pulmonary critical care program?

Workload and work life balance
I work at Montefiore and I would choose not to match here if possible. IT IS BUSY and I mean 7-12 consults per day (for one fellow) at their main campus (Moses, which conveniently they don't take you to during interview day). Granted, a lot of procedures are done you won't ever get to leave on time and enjoy life in New York City.

After you are done working during the day you have two options: you go back home in the Bronx :vomit: (Nothing to do) or commute 45-1hr back to Manhattan. Expect to arrive home by 6:30-7:30pm, and remember that your work day begins at 7AM (ICU) or 730-800 (Pulmonary). Which gives you twelve hours off between shifts.

Monte salary is not on par with other NYC programs and honestly if you don't have a significant other or multiple roommates to split rent with life in NYC can be a uphill battle on a 60kish salary (PGY 4 salary is 68K).

Career growth
Although I am grateful for my time as a resident here, I would choose not to extend my training in this institution. I am not certain of how fellows are able to acquire deep knowledge: my rotations with Pulmonary and MICU were really hit or miss for education and mentoring is virtually non existent.

Pulmonary faculty portrayed the program as "having opportunities to do research" but the research folder they provided us during interview day was based on research done 8-15 years ago; Aldrich passed way, Spivak is leaving this year ---> who is going to mentor / publish? I never saw any of this research going on and I looked for it.

Montefiore also happens to be a really efficient corporate medical network which as a trainee translate as a really efficient corporate politics game of thrones (and you are the pawn). Get ready to play nice and entertain dubious consults just too keep referrals coming.

Overall

I am not saying is the worst place to train. But I will rank it as a safety. If you interviewed in any of the big NYC 4 (NYP-Col, NYP-Cor, Mt. Sinai, NYU and even Northshore - just because of better work/life balance) I would definitely rank Montefiore below them. I am also ranking other big city programs (Tufts, BU, Miami, Temple, Jefferson - Tier) above Montefiore.

Why go thru a gauntlet everyday at work and then be a broke fellow crammed into a NYC apartment racking up credit card debt?

Buyer beware

I just now created an account so that I could post a response to this because its pretty inaccurate. I'm a current Einstein/Montefiore IM resident (which I'm not sure the above author is since only 2 of us are applying this cycle and neither of us authored the above post), and all of my experiences here would lead me to believe that the Pulm/CCM program at Einstein/Monte would be a great place to land on match day later this month. It is very strong clinically, and fellows get exposed to the full gamut of whats offered in the specialty: transplant, IP (without an IP fellow to steal procedures), ECMO, airway experience in the units and on the wards, etc.

While there isn't a robust amount of basic sciences research done within the department, bench opportunities can be found and there is a LOT of great clinical research that done here. For example fellows and attendings from the department have published many articles pertaining to the FDNY 9/11 cohort (which our institution has first access to, search FDNY on pubmed and you'll see what I'm talking about) over the years in NEJM, AJRCCM, Chest and in other top journals, some as recent as this year. If you're more interested in CCM research, graduates from other top pulm/ccm fellowship programs (UCSF, Columbia, etc) have come to work with our director of critical care research (who is world renowned in the CCM clinical research world) so that she can help them get K awards, and she has many projects for residents and fellows to hop on to as well. I could go on.

As for work/life balance, fellows work six 12-hour shifts per week while rotating through the Moses CCM segment of their fellowship but that's only for part of their second year. The Jacobi MICU hours are more reasonable but I don't know the specifics since the main Einstein/Monte IM residency program doesn't cover there. When on Pulm consults, fellows work 1 weekend a month on average. I've been privy to survey data sampling all resident/fellows at the institution, and I can honestly say that the Pulm/CCM fellows were among the happiest in the hospital according to this data. Sure the Bronx isn't as fun as Manhattan is below 96th street, but its also cheaper to live in which is why we get paid less (I have not sensed the corporate machinations at work that the above author referred to). Having said that, I still make enough to live in manhattan comfortably, and don't mind the 45 minute commute.

All in all the Pulm/CCM program at Einstein/Monte seems to provide top clinical training while not sacrificing research opportunities or fellow wellness. If you want to have great clinical fellowship training in preparation for a career in academics, this is a good place for that. While there are a lot of programs in the northeast that can say the same, I would be happy to match here as a fellow.

Also replying to above post regarding Montefiore:

I'm 1 of 2 residents applying to P/CCM at Monte right now (the other posted above) so not sure who the original poster is. Though I can't speak from P/CCM fellows perspective, as a resident I've had amazing experiences for career growth. Even as a resident, I've had P/CCM attendings and fellows go the extra mile to mentor me in research, career, and esp clinical training. Like many urban training centers, Monte is a busy program, yet the pulm/crit care fellows are some of the most approachable and chill fellows in the hospital. They don't seem like people who are "not enjoying life". The commute to Monte can be long but is done by hundreds of residents, fellows, nurses, etc. mostly from the UES which has a huge Monte presence. If you can't stand commuting, the housing (across the st) is ridiculously cheap and reliable. Anyone who matches at Monte for P/CCM should be proud! There's a reason they have a rep for being one of the clinically strongest program in the region
 
I also work at Montfiore. I'm the only internal applicant at this institution and don't know any of these other people.
I would rank NYU above Cornell, but below Sinai and throw Columbia+Yale's Seattle program somewhere in between.
Ideally, everyone should rank every New York program low so I can get into the NYC (or Philly) program of my choice.

Aio, quantitas magna frumentorum est
 
I know ranking is a personal choice and you have to look at a lot of factors and ultimately it will be my own opinion. But I would want to ask a general opinion about some programs (like any major red flags) or if anyone is currently in these programs or was a fellow. I am basically looking for a well-rounded program with good airway management, with good academics but I am not heavy on bench research.

-Temple
-Wake forest
-Univ of Kentucky (Lexington)
-Univ of Vermont
-Univ of Oklahoma
-Albany medical center
-UTMB Galveston
-Long Island Hofstra/Northwell.

I would very much appreciate all the help.

Thanks!

Guys a bit of help:

Recommendations regarding ROL, since it closes on wednesday. Applicant that wants to train in the best academic program as possible, regardless of the city. Preference for an institution with a decent option to do clinical research, and sub-fellowship after (IP, or lung transplant)

Loma Linda University
USC
Loyola
UIC
Rush
U Miami
U Wisconsin
U Cincinnati
UT Houston
Long Island North Shore LIJ

Thank you in advance guys!

To those folks applying both CCM and PCCM:
Be really careful about what PD said during your interview. I interviewed at one of the PCCM programs. The PD saw me and the first thing he said was "You have done so much work. I really like you. I think you will do really well. Please come to our program. The only weakness of our program is XXX, I hope you don't mind." He made me think that I will match there for sure. Then I came back, talked with my co-resident. Apparently, he told her the same thing. Then I came into one of my seniors, who matched to PCCM last year, but fell down his rank order list. He told me that that PD did the same thing to him last year, and he did not match into that program even ranked it higher.
So, if you have a decision to make between CCM vs PCCM, do not take that PD's word seriously. You will risk being unmatched if you reject a prematch offer and come into match hoping that PD will take care of you.

You should publically say which program this is. Applicants shouldn’t have to deal with this crap and the PD should be outted as lying to applicants.
 
ROL should be certified by 9 PM EST.
Good luck to everyone. See you in two weeks.

Wisconsin/USC/Loyola/Cinci/Houston at the top how you like them, the rest how you like them. I think Wisconsin has a very nice little program. If you liked it there, I'd put them tops. But remember you really need to rank the way you liked the programs.
 
Good luck everyone. Sounds like its been kind of brutal year. I wonder if it's going to keep up like this or if things settle back out in the years to come.

2 mins before NRMP determine your future destiny. Please share your experience so the upcoming applicants to learn. If you could please shade light on the following things in your experience that will be greatly appreciated:
1- research: how many, what type, published or not ?
2- posters or oral presentation ?
3- Did you do a year of sleep medicine prior to applying
4- your residency program( university vs community)
5- How many invitations you received
6- USMLE score
7- where did you match?
 
Hey guys I need some advice.
I did not match this year after 3 interviews out of 50 apps. Not a big shock but still disappointing. I am hoping I can get some feedback here on what I can do in the meantime to buff my application.
I am a bit weaker on paper. My steps are 209/209/211 all pass first attempt. I am a US allo grad currently in my PGY-3 year. I trained at a community affiliated program without an in-house pulmonary critical care fellowship. I have performed above average clinically in residency and have what I'm told are strong letters from my PD and pulmonary faculty. I have presented 4 case report posters (2 at ATS and 2 at CHEST) and have 2 basic science papers from back in undergrad. I did a 1 month rotation on the pulmonary consult service at our affiliate university hospital and got to know the program director somewhat well and plan on asking him as well what I can do. I applied to mainly the coasts and some Midwest programs. I did not apply to critical care only or pulm only programs. I think I definitely overestimated my competitiveness this cycle. My current plan is to be a hospitalist at an academic hospital where I can hopefully do some procedures and interact with intensivists and apply much more broadly next year and include CCM and pulm only programs as well. I am also currently working on a QI project for my program that involves retrospective data but I'm unsure how much of a difference that makes. Would appreciate any feedback you all have for me.
