Hello everyone,
I am a recent US-IMG graduate who matched into an "academic" community hospital for Internal Medicine in NYC and will be starting this July.
I have a strong desire to get GI fellowship but my program does NOT have an in-house fellowship nor is it very research oriented. I wanted to get an idea from you beautiful people how I can go about securing research and good LORs for GI fellowship application. I have already sent some emails to local GI program directors in the area inquiring about research involvement, but is there more I should be doing?
Some of my credentials:
- Step 1: 226
- Step 2: 235
- Step 3: currently studying for, plan to take before residency starts
- 1 published research article with a cardiologist while I was in undergrad
I would greatly appreciate any sort of advice or input. Thanks you so much in advance!
