Good morning everyone, I am an IMG with following credentials, matched at University-affiliated community program
Scores: 247, 251, cs pass, 228
Visa: H1B
I know the importance of doing a chief year and doing the best in residency as a way of getting into gastroenterology.
Besides that, I was looking at online MPH programs and I was wondering even if I don't match into GI at the first attempt, maybe MPH nutrition will help me get into nutrition fellowship later, which I can use as a stepping stone to get into GI? Is MPH degree compensated when you look for jobs later? Or maybe MS in nutrition?
How competitive are nutrition, IBD or other non-accredited fellowship for someone who needs H1B visa?
How can I do research if my program is not remotely research focused at all?
Please let me know your thoughts or opinions. I will really appreciate the input from seniors
