조상욱 선생님께 질문있습니다!

1. 카디올로지 하시는 분 있습니다. 진짜 너무 하고 싶으시면 레지던트 졸업하고 영주권 우선 따시면서 연구 이력을 더 늘리세요.
2. “How can I be helpful?” “Anything I can help you with?” 레지던트나 아텐딩한테 매일 1-2 번씩 능동적으로 물어보기. 그리고 적극성, ”오늘 이런 환자를 보고 이게 궁금해 졌는데 이 내용에 대해서 내일 짧게 5분 회진때 정리해서 발표해도 되나요?“

3. 보통 매치하는 해에 같은 해 사람들끼리 카톡방이 생깁니다
3.

I am not Dr. Cho, but I can answer question 1. Cardiology is a fellowship. Dermatology and orthopedics are residencies. Before you get into cardiology, you have to first match at an Internal Medicine residency, which is not that easy but very much within reach. Cardiology is a tough fellowship to get into, but getting into cardiology fellowship from residency is probably easier than getting into derm or ortho residency. It all depends on what you do in residency, and if you work hard on research and getting good LORs during residency, there are many IMGs who match into cardiology. Fellowship match depends more on what you do in residency than what you do before.

Looking at 2024 fellowship match results, around 1200 spots were filled for cardiology fellowship, and 300 of them were by non-US IMGs. So a minority, but definitely within reach.
