    Sports Cardiology Fellowship

    Sports cardiology is a very interesting and cool niche. Fellowships generally only exist at very large (and "name brand") institutions, which may be a factor in pursuing the fellowship (i.e. may improve your marketability and make you more appealing on the job market). Having a niche is never a...

    Cards vs Hem/Onc: which one wins in the salary/lifestyle head to head?

    This is the right answer. Focus on the personalities (if you have the "right" packet for ERAS) and see which group of people seem more like you. Cardiology is a mixture of surgery/procedures, radiology, and medicine (mostly critical care) and heavily physiology based. Oncology is a slow burn and...

    University of Kentucky vs. Louisville

    I found UoL's match list but I can't find it for UK. As for step 1s most places give a passing rate or something (that I've seen). So besides surgery, which specialties are better at UL or UK (i.e. what departments would draw you either way)? Any advice as to which way to go? Oh, and thanks...

    University of Kentucky vs. Louisville

    I'm interested in surgery but I thought the U of L has been getting a lot more research money since 2000? I'm interested in doing research (helps for a lot of surgery residencies) and I figured UoL would have good opportunities there since they are in a city (and from what the admissions people...

    I'm in a similar spot. Anyone else have anything to add to the discussion or why she chose U of L?

    Choosing a med school (with NS in mind later) - Louisville or Kentucky?

    Hey guys, I heard back from KY (where I was on the alt list since all the spots were gone when I interviewed) which I hadn't entirely expected. My future interests are in NS and I was wondering if I would get a benefit, with regards to making myself as strong as possible a candidate for a NS...
