I'm getting some conflicting information from my school, previous SDN posts, and other students, so I just wanted to ask the question myself.
I'm a DO student, and I know low to mid-low tier academic IM programs are where we most likely end up at for academic IM. I potentially want to pursue a career in heme onc or PCCM, but I do not think I would be happy as a general internist or hospitalist (nothing against them, just a personal thing), so if it's very difficult then I don't know if that's the route I want to dedicate myself to.
I do not care about matching into an academic fellowship, i.e. I just want to match anywhere.
1) How difficult is it to match into these fellowships out of a low tier IM programs?
2) What kind of stats does someone have to match into low or mid-low academic IM programs?
3) (Unrelated) How often do people dual apply IM and neuro?
