In case you apply to 2 or more different specialties, get some IVs..., can you do a Rank Order List in the match for only 1 specialty?..., can you do ROL for every specialty that you apply to?..., is it possible to match in 2 different specialties?..., how does this works?...

I know it´s to soon to think about this, but it´s a doubt I have..., will appreciate any help...

Thanks in advance...

when you submit ROL, you'll list the programs that you've selected for matching i.e all specialties in one list. For example, if you had interviews for FM, IM, Peds, you'll rank all of them in one list. As a result, you have to decide that you will be willing to be matched with any one of those 3 specialties. There is NOT different ROLs for each specialty for you to rank!
Hope that helps...

Also remember that statistics have shown that those who have at least 5 consecutive rankings from a single specialty have had bigger matching probabilities and the lenghtier the list the better, those who have alternated different specialties have had less matching overall percentage.
