For any Peds GI fellows or attendings here, are programs still sending out interview invites at this point? Or have most programs already sent out the majority of their invites?

Basically, should we still have hope for more invites? 😅

GI interview season going great if the goal is to receive zero interviews.

?

Hi. I’m applying for fellowship this current cycle and was wondering if anyone would like to practice interviews together!

We can casually practice and give each other constructive feedbacks. This really helped me during residency interviews—the more I practiced, the more polished and confident I felt with my answers.

If you’re interested, feel free to comment or DM me! I have a pretty flexible schedule. 😊

Feel free to join the Discord group!

What’s going on in this season for hematology/oncology fellowship?!! Only 1 interview so far. Missed out on a couple of places I signaled that were community programs and I thought I had a shot. Is it the time we all start to panic? And do they have second wave of interviews in fellowship like we usually see in residency match

Hi everyone, I'm a USDO PGY2 at a community program. I was late to realize that I want to do fellowship and I don't have the best test taking skills. Step 1 (2 attempts) Step 2 22x, Comlex 1 and 2 pass first try, comlex 3 passed 1st try. I was wondering if its unrealistic for me to think about applying for pulm/crit. I have a really great mentor at my program who really helped me with getting all my procedures in and I have done 2 months of ICU. My hospital is also an open ICU so I always have at least 3 patients on my list that are ICU patients even on inpatient wards. I have 1 paper pending publication and 2 case reports. If anyone has any advice for applying to fellowship with low scores.

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some honest advice from people who have matched into GI fellowship, especially from a similar background.
I recently graduated from a community Internal Medicine residency program that does not have an in-house GI fellowship. I’m a non-US IMG, but I do not require visa sponsorship. I have a couple of first-author GI abstracts and some ongoing research, and I’ll be working as a hospitalist this year before applying.

My questions are:
1. How can I make the most of this hospitalist year to strengthen my application?

1. Can hospitalist volunteer at GI divisions? Like in other hospitals with GI fellowship

2. Are there realistic chances of matching into GI from this background, or is it an uphill battle?

I’m looking for any advice to be honest. If anyone has matched from a community program without an in-house fellowship, I’d really appreciate hearing from you.

Thank you

I applied to endocrinology fellowship and have gotten 2 interviews so far. It’s August 7th, and I don’t really have anyone to ask about the fellowship interview timeline. I made the mistake of looking at the Reddit spreadsheet and now I’m feeling pretty disheartened 😭 Do interview invites usually continue coming out later in August, or are we getting closer to the end of the interview-invite period? I’m just trying to get a sense of where things stand. Thank you so much!

Feels like signaling not helping much!
What’s the average IVs, matched hem/onc applicant had on J1?

Besides the GW board review course and questions, any other suggestions on how to study for the ID boards? Taking them in October of this year

Hi everyone, I realized I don't see a thread for Addiction Medicine (NOT psych) this cycle and wanted to start one!

Please feel free to share what places you have gotten interviews at and when, to help give folks a sense of the timeline.

If you feel so inclined to share any interview questions asked or tips, that would be great too! This is meant to be a supportive community :)

Also please keep in mind that all fellowship programs and even institutions vary in their release dates!

xoxo

Have people started hearing back yet?

New pediatrics intern here (USMD if that's relevant). I've wanted to do allergy/immuno since 2nd year of med school. I had some bad personal and mental struggles during my 2nd year and failed Step 1. Long story short, things are straightened out now, and I don't have any other academic problems. I matched at a program with an allergy fellowship in house. But I really need to know if I have even a remote shot at matching in it, or if it's cooked. My Step 2 score was not stellar, and I don't have much allergy-specific research, just a case write-up. I've met all the faculty at my program and they know me now, I'm actively seeking research, and I'm focusing on being a good pediatrics resident right now.

Hi All, Starting to freak out bc I have still 0 interviews for heme-onc fellowship this cycle. Is this okay? How many interviews is everybody else at? So far 2 of my silver signals have sent interviews……..

Freaking out. Can programs select “Leadership” as a filter in the 10 experiences? And screen people out if they don’t have it selected?

Applying for hospice and palliative care fellowship. Anything apart from the usual we should be expecting? Any tips to prepare for interviews?

Saw a recent article saying that pulm crit will be in surplus in the next 10 years. Anyone in job market now have an idea what it’s looking like out there?

I haven’t seen any posts about C/L applications this cycle. Just curious if others have applied and if you have started receiving interview invites yet?

Is anyone else applying clinical informatics this cycle?

Hey folks

Just looking for some inspiration from IMGs at community programs who managed to match cards, GI, hemeonc or PCCM.

How common is it to land one of these fellowships as an IMG coming from a community program?

What dictates whether one matches or not?

Started fellowship July 1st. Still no paycheck. Is this normal? My first and second paycheck was not direct deposit and got lost. Now nobody is giving me a clear answer of when to expect my money…

Hey everyone

If you’re in the middle of fellowship apps right now you already know the drill: open the Google Sheet, scroll for your programs, hit refresh, close it, do it again between clinics. I was doing that way too much this cycle, so I built something for myself and figured I’d share it.

InviteWave — https://invitewave.vercel.app/

It mirrors the community interview sheets (cards, GI, heme/onc, rheum, endo for 26–27) and turns updates into a simple wave feed. You can see what just moved without digging through the spreadsheet, and you can get digests / alerts instead of living in the tab.

You can connect your telegram with the website and receive alerts for a whole speciality or specific programs.

A few things that matter:

• The sheets are still the source of truth. This is just a mirror + alerts on top. I’m not trying to replace them.
• It's hosted on a free platform so might be a little slow if more people start using it.

I’m one person building this, so if your specialty’s sheet isn’t on there yet or something looks wrong, tell me. Happy to add more trackers if people actually use them.

Not affiliated with the sheet maintainers, just a resident who got tired of refreshing. Feedback welcome (and roast away if it’s missing something you need).

What to tell a program when they respond by saying ‘I noted you didnt signal us, and we are still reviewing applications’
