Hey everyone,
I was hoping to get some of your opinions on an idea I had. I am ultimately interested in Advanced Heart Failure Cardiology. My problem is that I am a US IMG from a mid-higher tier community hospital program in NYC, so my chances for the traditional cards then hf fellowship are slim. I was planning to do a nephrology fellowship at a large research institution to get some publications as nephro and cardiology have unique common grounds in heart failure patients. After interdepartmental research at this large institute I would then plan to then apply to cardiology. Yes it is a lot of training. Blah blah blah. It’s something I want to do. A chief year is not really on the table either since I don’t see the value of being a secretary for a year without much improvement to my CV when I can get a stellar CV boost from a 2-year nephro program. Any thoughts?
