Does it matter what program you do your residency at in terms of matching to a fellowship after graduation. I want to do spine, but does it make a difference if I go to Kessler, Mayo, RIC vs. another lesser known place like Loyola, IU, or Univ. of Louisville. I like some of the smaller, lesser known programs, but I know that I will want to do a fellowship. Thanks.
 
interventional spine fellowships can be very competitive. I think that coming from a top tier program would definitely help to be competitive when seeking the job
