So having matched into cardiology (in a program with all the subspecialties), been looking ahead to see what advanced fellowships have to offer. My understanding is as follows:
interventional -> most competitive, requires 1-2 additional years, becoming more saturated, not atypical to have salaries >500k, location is an issue.
EP -> 2nd most competitive, 2 years additional years, also saturated, salaries typically in the 350-450k range, can't be too picky about location.
Imaging -> not competitive, 1 year, no idea about location/saturation, salary similar to general cardiology 300-400k
advanced heart failure -> not competitive, 1 year, again, no idea about location/saturation, salary in the 350-450k range as far as I can tell.
Personally most interested in advanced heart failure, but all 3 heart failure fellows I've talked to have drunk the academic koolaid so I have no idea what a good salary looks like in advanced heart failure (they all got jobs in the 150-200k range, no idea about bonus/productivity/protected research time).
any help clarifying the above and providing more detailed practice information would be welcomed. I perused through the jobs in cardiology thread but it didn't really touch on what I needed since it had like 100+ ****posts in there.
