Would working as a PCP over a hospitalist hurt my chances of doing an IM Fellowship when I apply in 2 years? I am pursuing Heme onc first…

[sdaccount114445]

So I am debating whether to take a PCP job with a Cush schedule vs a IM Hospitalist either 7 days in and off or 5 days while also thinking about which would be better for my chances to get into fellowship when I apply in two years.

I went to a Community program and had limited research throughout. I am planning to get a lot more research in the form of posters and case reports, possibly publishing some before I apply to Hematology/Oncology next year. I’ll also send out some applications to cardiology having relevant research. Endocrine will be the backup hopefully since I want to do some fellowship ultimately….

Would taking a PCP over a Hospitalist job Burt me when trying to apply for these fellowship programs or should I just get a hospitalist job?

Look I know it was ideal to get a fellowship right out of my PGY3 year, but it just didn’t happen, I didn’t go to a academic residency site and my attendings, mentors, and colleagues did t help in terms of getting me to get reeearch pumped out.

Will I still have a good shot if I have a stronger CV and good experience and lots of research for Hematology oncology, cards, and Endocrine? Thanks.
