how is tenessee 3anoon?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------the good:
Good brand name (reputed university)
PD and Division chief are extremely friendly and wants the best out of you
You can tailor the 2nd year to your needs....
Pittsburgh is a good city to live
the bad:
Extremely busy year 1 8 blocks of consults: fellows come in at 530-6 almost all days.
No much experience in interventional nephrology
I'm meeting many fellows who are doing hospitalist waiver position after fellowship

Thanks for the clarification.waiver= j1 visa waiver
Actually I have seen many Green card holders doing that too,
but they do it because they get paid more as hospitalist or because they could not find a nephro job at their desired city !
Very much possible to see this! Jobs [for new subspecialists] in cities have almost dried out- holds true for most of the subspecialties not alone for nephrology.
we have to compromise initially in our career one way or other- either with salary [to stay in big cities] or move to slightly smaller places or work as hospitalists!!
there is an opening for july 2011 at MUSC
it is an ok program. ranked 32
no electives so u will work 24 months of consult that sucks big time.
new PD will start this summer.
research opp. ??

I got one today. Just saying they would consider highly. I think they send it to everyone.
Are we waiting till end of May to submit the list
Anyone heard anything from UAB?
Hey guys,
I haven't heard anything back from any programs. Anybody else here the case? Some of my colleagues applying for other specialties (ID) actually got phone calls from programs saying they would rank them highly. I haven't even gotten any emails back.
Hi guys, at the NKF meeting in Vegas we had a talk about the job market with DaVita representatives.
There is a contraction in the number of jobs and the starting salaries are well below those for a hospitalist but putting lot more hours every week.
The ASN just wrote a series of articles in their magazine that deals with the issue of the shrinking nephrology workforce and the lack of interest by American Grads ; they had access to ERAS numbers for 2011 , the number of applicants this year is barely above the number of positions available and even there was a drop in the number of IMGs applying; now renal is less competitive than ID and just above Geriatrics.
Many dialysis units and nephrology groups work just fine with PAs and NPs and that is having an adverse impact on jobs availability.
Almost anybody will match, so go, do your fellowship and enjoy nephrology but expect a tough job market with a better expectation for a job as a hospitalist or as PCP.
