I'm noticing that a number of residents at 7 year gen surg programs have been doing fellowships during their "research years." It seemed like critical care fellowships were a popular option.
Is this becoming a more common and acceptable thing? What are the pros and cons of this?
Does this mean that someone who ends up in a 7 year residency who ultimately decides research/academia is not for them can finish training in the same amount of time as someone who went to a 5 year program and did a fellowship afterwards? It just switches the order around?
Thanks in advance.
