Hello SDN! Current PGY-1 at a combined X+IM program who has found him/herself gravitating towards IM, especially pulm/crit more and more each day. Honestly a pretty unexpected development but it is at the point where I see it as a definitive career path for me.
I believe that I came into the program with a good attitude, worked extremely hard, and have received positive feedbacks, however the program is quite limited in academic and research opportunities that I think reapplying will maximize my competitiveness for a fellowship.
For background info: USMD from a decent Med school in the northeast. Step 1: 24x, Step 2: 25x, honored in medicine sub I, and one pub during Med school from undergrad research but otherwise limited in research. Should be ok with obtaining a letter of good standing and positive letter of recs from attending I’ve worked with this year.
Planning on applying very broadly if I go down this route (150+?) to any university/academic/programs with pulm-crit fellowships and not limited by geography. Do I stand a chance at all or am I out of my mind?
