I have been to the ACGME website but really haven't gotten a good answer on this topic. Who decides whether a specialty requires a residency or a fellowship post an IM Residency? For example, why is Neurology a residency while Cardiology or Pulmonology a Post-IM Fellowship? It seems strange that some require a residency and some don't. I am interested in Cards but am hesitant of risking not matching once I am in the IM Residency. Thanks for the help.
