Hey, p4a99. You're an FM guy? All you have to do is start a similar thread! Good luck!

Naaa, I like family m but the problem is with the low $$$ and not many interesting subspecialties  ... screw this paying system ... not enough primary care docs in the country but they still insist on paying specialists double $$$ ... how stupid!

Well, Peds is primary care too. And only slightly better paid than FM. Though significantly better choice as far a Fellowship is concerned. And a lifetime of caring for babies.......can't wait!!

Hi again, everyone. Does anyone have any info about Fellowship opportunities in Peds? How competitive are they? What's the procedure to apply, or is it too early to ask y'all?
Thanks.

ok...this is what i know of fellowships...knowledge still in infancy...
most fellowships require you to apply in the middle of ur second year except critical care and emergency med.
applications are usually thru individual forms..available from the websites of the program or on emailing them...some can be applied thru ERAS and most match thru NRMP (list available on site) but some like neonatology, I think (not sure), dont use NRMP and selection is insti based.
High in demand are EM, Cardio, rheumato....lower are crit care....
I think once u get into residency the IMG vs AMG is diluted and chances of getting into really good institutes increases....while CV matters, research does count, some say step 3 score counts (but dont think thats for peds) ...but what really counts is who calls for u where...so working hard in residency and making a good impression must be important...
well I am still working at increasing my fundas...hopefully more contributions will come in
praying4a99--peds is the ultimate primary care man...but FM ppl get loads of exposure in peds...all the best for FM.

mukho, thanks for your detailed answer as usual. I really appreciate your help, I can't say how much!
P.S. As an aside, any idea where you're interested in F'ship?

 , angel!! Traitor!! Ok, just kidding, you can deal with the Moms, and pass on the babies to us. I'm sure you'll excel in whichever dept is lucky to have you.
Mukho, so what's the difference b/w ER and Critical Care. Is the difference restricted to ER seeing patients being rushed in to the hosp, while CC is all about in-patients? Or is there more difference?

Paheli, Angel, P4a99, what small ambitions you have  Have a look at one of the great dreams of future successful doctors out there:
"Fortunately, myself and others in my med school have decided that medical school is not about helping people. The poor are disgusting and only depress you. Although, personally I think they exist to make you feel better about your lifestyle. Any who, my class and I have decided that medical careers should be about other things, like a good comfortable lifestyle, power, influence and respect. These make you feel good about yourself and help with picking up chicks at a bar. That’s why, when I graduate medical school, I hope to whore myself out to an insurance company and become one of those ridiculously well-paid doctors who make extra bonuses when they deny patients access to chemotherapy."
Patients are good hands
HOW SICK !

Emergency medicine u deal with patient who come in without going to there primary doctor, either coz it was an emergency or more coz its free and they cant afford insuarance....u see a variety including trauma, surgery....u do a lot of minor procedures u wouldnt do anywhere else in peds...like splinting, incision and drainage...and from a lifestyle point of u there are no 24 hr calls...its shift duty...and very lil follow up
Critical care is of course as paheli said in-patients...with full in patient services and calls....so lifestyle wise its a bit more hectic i think...and stressfull...cause u see a lot of morbidity and mortality
thnks angel...am sure u'll find ur area of interest...maybe u'll apply to both and then let match decide...but we need angels in peds more than anything!
praying4a99--these type of posts are written by stressed out ppl high on something after a really bad day...in fact just by the way the post is written i suspect the writer possibly will do the opposite of what he/she states....or so i hope !

Thanks, mukho. Which is more competitive, Cric care or ER?
I have read in some threads that NY state has an upper limit as far as USCE goes, not more than 3/12 or else you're not eligible to apply. Mukho, do you know/can you verify this? There's so much ambiguous info around these days.
Dhanyavaad.

ER i have heard are more in demand...
Didnt get the next question actually, paheli....some instis have limits on how many mnths of ur med school training u have done from other institutes and that too, they ask for reasons dont really disqualify u...as for USCE, like observerships...there isnt any upper limit i know of...at least not for residency application....there of course are definite lower limits!! or maybe i am getting the ques wrong...

Sorry, mukho, if I sounded vague. I'll try again. I've heard that if you have more than 3/12 duration of USCE, you are not eligible to apply to any[some?] progs in the state of NY. Is this true?
It sounded silly to me, but it's been repeated by a number of people. I still don't believe it fully, though. Has anyone else heard of this? I hope it's just a mean rumor.
Thanks.

What does "more than 3/12 USCE duration" mean?

If you have more than 3 months of USCE you are not eligible? Hmm, sounds awkward to me. Isn't USCE like sugar; the more the better!
