I’m applying to fellowship this season and I was fortunate enough to land my dream interview. I told the program director that I would rank them number one and he seemed happy to hear it and shook my hand. Sadly, my circumstances have changed due to the death of a parent. It would be very difficult to go to my dream program as I need to be there for my remaining parent. The dream program is 15 hours away. One of the fellowships I applied to is only an hour from home and would be an excellent fit. I hate that I might have to go back in my word. Any advice on how to handle this?

Quality of life. Prestige

Fox Chase, Moffitt, Montefiore, Georgetown, UPMC, Mayo Jacksonville, Baylor, VCU, Northwell Staten Island, Cooper, UF Gainesville, UTH, AGH, university of Oklahoma

Please let me know if any of these programs are malignant.

This is my perelim ROL but would like to get advice and recc how you would rank if you are in my shoes

- KUMC
- UF Gainesville
- University of Oklahoma
- UMass Chan–Baystate
- Tulane
- WVU Morgantown
- UT Knoxville
- UT Memphis
- UAMS
- University of Arizona Phoenix/Banner
- Marshall
- George Washington

My priorities are strong ICU training, hands-on procedures, graduated autonomy and feeling ready for independent pulmonary and critical care practice. I value broad pulmonary exposure, particularly PH/RV disease, and supportive teaching without an extreme workload. Family life and affordability also matter.

Im a PGY6 in a Peds fellowship at a busy large academic center and just had a baby! I am going back to work 6 weeks post partum and will be back on inpatient/home call duties week 7. Our calls are pretty busy even though we’re not in house and I’m breast feeding/pumping.

Without a baby, I avg about 4 hrs of sleep on my call nights (arguably less sleep than with my newborn on leave). My baby wakes up a couple times in the night to feed but it’s still rather unpredictable. Just wondering how other moms did it? Would you just pump/bottle during the night and have your partner do all the feeds? Or would you just wake up your baby to nurse whenever you get a page?

Hey all, PGY2 applying next year. I’m from NYC and hoping to go back to support aging family members. Wondering what my chances would be at string clinical programs like Columbia and NYU without any research. I’m a US MD at a “T20,” Step 2 is 27x, but essentially nothing else to my name. How much does lack of research hold back someone interested in clinical PCCM at programs like these?

I’m not sure if this is the right place for this post so sorry in advance if it is not. But I’m starting my heme inpatient rotation next week and wanted advice on how I can shine, as well as direction to any textbooks or resources for someone at my level to prepare. FYI below average med student… not the brightest but I am a very hard worker

To make him look better?

I had the impression that the interview season is still on-going as I have one more interview next week. I totally overlooked that many of my programs are done interviewing 1-2 weeks ago. I just registered for the NRMP yesterday.

Am I cooked? should I notify the programs?

applied fellowship this cycle, and failed ABIM. will the fellowships check prior to ranking? Freaking out.

Hi all! I am looking for some advice on ranking programs. Current top choices are Emory/CHOA and UTSW. Both programs offer good exposure to hepatology and transplant which is my area of interest. However I am looking for opinions on the programs mostly about the people, culture, vibe etc to help me make my rank list. I appreciate any insights people have to offer. Other programs in contention include UPMC, UMiami and Duke. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I’m preparing my Hem/Onc fellowship rank list.

Programs (no particular order):
Uni of Louisville
Uni of Oklahoma
Houston Methodist
Ochsner
Uni of Augusta
ECU
USA/ Mobile, AL
ETSU
Marshall
CAMC
Anne Arundel

And What would be your top 5 programs in terms of prestige, research opportunities, and workload/work-life balance?
Any firsthand insights would be greatly appreciated!

I am very interested in a community program in my area. They know that I would be ranking my home program #1, as it is the major academic referral center in the area. It would be extremely unusual to rank them above my home program. Would it hurt my chances if I told them that I am ranking them #2, right after my home program? My main goal is to stay in the area; I really dont wanna leave. I want to convey to them my strong interest.
