Any thoughts on doing fellowship at the same place you did residency? There are clearly positives and negatives on both sides of the argument, but trying to get a feel from those ahead of me (or applying now) how big of a factor going to a different place for fellowship was.
As for me, I love where I'm at for residency and love the Pulm/CC program we have here, but some people (even at the program) have remarked on how important they felt it was to "go to the best program possible" and look at other programs to get a different taste of medicine. At baseline, I tend to be a "fellowship is what you make of it" kind of guy, and don't put a lot of weight into going to a different place for med school/residency/fellowship, but how heavily does it count on your scale?
