GI fellowship applications for 2011

[Dr. Don]

I've been out of the loop for a while because quite honestly the interview process didn't treat me well at all and with everybody else getting interviews at places I had applied, I was just hoping for the best and preparing for the worst when match day came......final result: MATCHED!!!! Thank god! now I can move on with my life. Good luck to everyone else and hope you got your desired spot...never give up!

Does anyone know if statistics for public viewing have been posted anywhere regarding unfilled positions? Or perhaps there weren't any this year....? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

They are listing "14 unfilled" positions in GI this match cycle. The statistics are not available for public viewing, but are available if your enrolled in the NRMP match this year on your account.

nothing here hepatoma, just a "congratulations email". I'm sure the paperwork will come sooner or later...no worries....the match is binding so we are all set

For me last year paperwork did not arrive until well after New Year's, maybe around February? Just be patient. Your programs are situating the new fellows right now. Congrats all.

I agree. Plenty of time (one year) and they will honor their match with you. I'm sure the contract and all the info will come. Especially because some of us have to start obtaining a medical licensure in a new state prior to starting fellowship.

Congrats to all who matched! I too haven't received any email/paperwork from my program but I'm not stressing about it. I'm too excited! So glad that process is over!

Straight from the NRMP website. I advise that you take those "unfilled programs or spots" with a grain of salt....we all know that there is still some shady things going on with programs and spots are offered outside the match, so only because a program didn't fill through the match, doesn't necessarily mean they didn't "fill" through other routes BTW I'm one of the 4%

My friend scrambled for a spot. Of those unfilled positions, he told me half of them were actually filled, so I guess they did fill their positions outside the match.
