They must be really trigger happy to send out rejection early and then send an interview. Which place is this? Also, it depends on the number of your interviews. It does increase your chances of getting matched theoretically if none of the other candidates they ranked, ranked them or match at other places. If you have a satisfactory number then tell them to eff off. If not, and its a place you would like to end up at, I think you should make the trip.I have known people in the past match at places where they were originally waitlisted, or invited because of cancellations.
Any personal perspectives on Mayo Florida?
I visited the place. Seemed absolutely great. Beautiful hospital. Great faculty, a lot of it. Opportunity to pursue clinical research. Great mentor to fellow ratio. Relatively light schedules. Lung transplant. Recently accredited PH center. Center for ARDSNET, LIPS trials. Exposure to lung and all other kind of transplant patients. All fellows get enough procedures. But then during the tour of the hospital I realized that they barely get any patients. The average number of consults they see are 3-4 with the list being 4-5 patient long as they sign of most patients immediately after a branch as its mostly for pre-transplant eval. Most procedure are for surveillance. Intensivists in the ICU even during the day change every 2-3 days, sometime even daily. Average number of patients seen in the outpatient clinic rotation which is a total of 6 months out of 36 is 3-4. 1-2 being new patients/referral from pulm people who have failed to diagnose. Average census in MICU is 8-9. So all in all, not a lot of common pathology in the pulm or ccm training but great subspecialty exposure.
So I wasn't sure what to make of it. Let me know if anyone has other experiences or inputs.
They do make you wear suits every day to work.

Congratulations on taking some time off and getting a refresher course in biostatistics, not that it seems to have helped you much.
To REINFORCE my point, let me present to you numbers rather than percentage for last years match data because you do not seem to get that concept. Also, it is nothing like ARR or RRR.
Pulm/Crit:
Applicants Preferring this Specialty: * 728
Matched to this Specialty: 504 69%
Matched to Different Specialty: 16 2%
Did not Match to any Program: 208 29%
So, I CAN deduce that less people applied for pulm/crit than cardiology, because despite you example with 2 and 5 spots, the spots for pulm/crit are fixed and thus the percentage of matched candidates can give you an accurate data of the total number of applicants.
Cardiology:
Applicants Preferring this Specialty: * 1,134
Matched to this Specialty: 823 73%
Matched to Different: Specialty 13 1%
Did not Match to any Program: 298 26%.
Thus, of the the total number of people that applied for cardiology, a higher percentage matched (73%) as compared to Pulm/Crit and GI,
I shall give you GI's example, unless you are telling me GI is less competitive than cardio and pulm crit because there absolute numbers are actually lesser than pulm/crit and cardio but overall, they have a lower match percentage making them the most competitive field last year, and a few preceding years.
Gastroenterology:
Applicants Preferring this Specialty * 710
Matched to this Specialty 457 64%
Matched to Different Specialty 8 1%
Did not Match to any Program 245 35%
P.S. Btw, I did miss that class along with a few others since I was never a fan of biostatistics. I do get simple math right though.
Seems to be very common along the eastern seaboard, less common elsewhere though every place has its own practices.
how about PCCM program?
Which programs?
As long as you get it in time, no. But why are you waiting? That's just dumb.
Dude...it's $70. Just register.
okie dokie. will do now! Thanks
I had a friend (honestly a friend) who had a program email them requesting that they get their NRMP token b/c they otherwise weren't in the system to be ranked. Not sure how common that is, especially given that the ranking system only opened last week and is open for another month...
Haven't been through fellowship, yet, but there's a reason why the ACGME only requires 18 clinical months. And most programs big/solid enough to offer a year or more of research have a ton of patients so you should be great clinically. But if you don't want to be an academician, by all means go to a place with 30+ clinical months.
