Did med school/residency in midwest, so my knowledge of these programs are fairly limited. Would really appreciate any thoughts on these programs. My priority is just having the best overall cardiology training experience:
- montefiore
- NSLIJ
- Lenox Hill
- Mount Sinai Elmhurst
Lenox Hill
Mount sinai morningside
Stony Brook
Rutgers RWJ
Hackensack
Westchester
NYULI
Prioritizing overall well-rounded training, no specific subspecialty. Curious to hear what is generally considered the most rigorous/prestigious. Thanks so much in advance!
Sandslash:
- slash
- double team
- focus punch
- earthquake
The idea of double team + focus punch seems fun, but i cant ever justify using it over earthquake, except on normal and flying types. Curious to hear thoughts!
Hi everyone,
Posting on behalf of my sister, who is an RN. She works in ICU, and was trying to leave her current hospital in pursuit of a different hospital system. She had multiple interviews at this other hospital system and by all accounts they went well, but unfortunately she didnt get the job. She was later told by someone she tangentially knows that it was essentially because of a bad reference. She has a strong idea who its from (previous nurse manager who only worked with her briefly)
Now, she has been unable to even get interviews at this hospital system, or from any other hospital systems in which she sent this bad reference to.
I was wondering if anyone knows whether hospitals can blacklist an applicant based on a bad reference? And what she can do in this situation?
Any advice would be sincerely appreciated!!
Hi everyone,
I am looking to improve my cardiology knowledge as a hopeful cards fellow. I currently use acc guidelines as my main resource, but I notice for some things i.e. afib/AFl it seems somewhat out of date already. What are some good resources to supplement?
Also, any recommendations on how to get started with reading echos? Not looking for anything too intense, just would like to know more of the basics.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone,
Looking to by a 128gb card, was wondering if it needs to be SD or can it just be microSD (seems cheaper)
Background:
-USMD
-mid tier university residency program
- manuscripts: one first author submitted, 3 other tertiary author submitted, one accepted
-like 6 first author abstracts (4 of them submitted, 2 accepted)
- step 2/3: 26x/25x
- strong LOR from what I have been told
How many “reach” (I.e. MGH, Mount Sinai NY, BIDMC) programs would you use signals on (out of 20 signals) if you were in my position?
I look at top programs like BIDMC, MGH, Mount Sinai NY, etc and see that all their fellows are from the very top programs. Like literally 0 from mid tier programs like mine. Feel like it was a waste signaling these programs

Hi everyone,
Looking for insight from anyone who has worked on a fellowship committee.
Context: I am USMD at mid tier university program. I have about 6 first author abstracts, and I have 2 of them actually already drafted up as manuscripts. The problem is my PIs have been slow and not getting back to me in time to submit these manuscripts before the ERAS deadline. I mentioned that I have drafted the manuscripts in my experiences section, but I am worried about the optics of not having any first author manuscripts in my scholarly works section of ERAS.
I was wondering how this will be perceived, how important this is, and how much it would change my application to have even one submitted first author manuscript.
Would it be worthwhile to email programs to update them once they are submitted?
Hi everyone,
About to apply, and I am wondering what you think my chances are at matching.
- I am a USMD at a mid tier residency program
- Letters of rec should be solid, 2 from pretty well known cardiologists, one who I have worked closely with
- Step scores: Step 2 26x, step 3 25x
- personal statement: assume is below average to average (always been a poor writer)
- Research (what worries me most):
-I have about 4 cardiology publications which I am a tertiary author
- I have no publications that are first author (though one is very close, draft is done, and I wrote about it in my experiences section)
- I have about 12 cardiology abstracts/posters, 6 of which are first author (a few are submitted and pending acceptances).
- And I have about 15 noncardiology abstracts as well
My biggest concern is not having any first author manuscripts in submission or accepted, how much will this hurt me?
Hi everyone,
I completed a draft of my manuscript several weeks ago. Unfortunately, my PI has been quite busy and has not gotten around to looking at it, thought he said he will look at it later this week. I was wondering if you think it would be ok to list as “submitted” in the scholarly works section, given that I really have done a ton of work and I anticipate it will be submitted very soon?
I notice that for scholarly work, there is an option to select a date in the future, so unsure if this is ok to do. I spoke with a mentor a few days ago and he says it’s fine to do.
But I just feel sketchy listing something as submitted when it’s not actually submitted. Though I really wish I can include it, because it is my only first author manuscript so it would be a huge deal for my application
Thanks so much in advance for your advice
Hi everyone,
I worked with a PI on one of my manuscripts who now really dislikes me. I am worried PDs may reach out to him since hes pretty well known, and it will hurt my chances.
I am curious, if this does happen, at what point in the application process does it happen? Is it before interviews, or around time when programs are ranking?
Was discussing with some coresidents who will be doing this. I personally feel like this is just lying. One of coresidwnts argument is that she’s basically done with the draft of the manuscript, is just waiting on her PI to give her the green light to submit. Curious to hear other thoughts
Hey all,
Was talking with a few coresidents earlier this week, they were saying that they are in the final stages of manuscripts and although they have not yet submitted, they are planning on including this in the scholarly work section.
This cant be ok to do, right? Like technically what is stopping me from listing a bunch of abstracts or manuscripts that I am technically "planning" on completing, but I have not yet submitted? Their argument was that technically ERAS allows you to put a future month in the manuscript section, but idk it just doesnt make sense to me to list as submitted. Idk, i guess Im just upset ill be put at a disadvantage if other people are doing this, just doesnt feel right to list something as "submitted" that hasnt actually been submitted yet, curious to hear anyone elses thoughts
are you guys listing any hobbies as one of 10 experiences? I dont see it as a drop down in "experience type"
Hi everyone,
Trying to figure out how to list the details in the experiences portion.
Are you guys just listing what your role is and what you did? Or are you going more in depth and more abstract, talking about how it has shaped you as an applicant etc etc
Theres a $200 SUB right now for amazon, but I recall it being $250 at some point? Should I wait?
