Hi,
I am not so famililar with the US system so would appreciate some advice.
I plan to do residency in IM.
Do most guys go directly into fellowship after residency or do many ppl work as internists for a few years? (In my country it is hard to get into competitive fellowships without working experience as an internist but I´ve got the impression things are the other way around in the US, correct?)
I would like to work as a hospitalist for a few years, like 3 years or so, to get a green card and to gain some more experience before I´ll start fellowship. Is that a bad plan?
My plan is to go into rheuma? How hard is it to get a fellowship in a good location? Do they require research experience?
My second choice is endo. is that harder or easier to get?
