I'm a US IMG (England) about to take my Step 1 this spring. I'm expecting roughly 230 though higher would be fantastic, I'm also being realistic. My expectation is I'll match into a community IM program more than likely without university affiliation.
My primary interest in the field is for the immunology aspect and I know I am not A/I candidate. Of all the basic sciences the immunology part of microbio was the most interesting. During my clinicals rheum and pulmonary were the most enjoyable.
My questions
-how competitive is the fellowship these days for an IMG from a community hospital?
-staying in academic medicine how much immunology aspects to the research is there?
-what sort of opportunities are there after fellowship for further specialization fellowships?
