I'm still in college, but my dream is to become a Endocrinologist to treat diabetics. I have diabetes myself, and know this where I'd like to specialize (barring some heavy influences along the path).
I'm still learning a lot the whole process from med school to Endocrinologist, and recently found out that internal medicine is the residency you go through before your Endo fellowship.
I've been told that going into an Endocrinology fellowship isn't extreme competitive, and neither is an internal medicine residency.
Basically I'd be interested in any general information people might have on IM residencies/Endo fellowships.
I also basically am clueless about how residency programs select residents, and what they look at (I assume Med school grades, but don't know for sure).
If anyone could take a bit of time to help me out, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks
