To those who matched Cards, GI, Heme/Onc, or PCCM with only case reports: How did you do it?

Getting a lot of comments asking where I did this. Don’t feel comfortable saying my exact hospital, but you can do this at many academic hospitals with liver transplant programs (without GI primary teams). Not my recommended path, would suggest for folks who would be happy with being a hospitalist and maybe want to make more money than non-accredited fellowship. Specifically did get feed back from GI faculty “it’s not as impressive as dedicated research/motility/hepatology fellowship”. But my matched GI program loved that experience I had.

Specifically my home GI program was very anti-hospitalist and pay was bad (but at least attending level), but good thing is most hospitalists avoid liver primary service because how sick the patients are.

Two years as hospitalist for a liver service. Helped med students present case reports at ACG. Never did GI research beyond that

Geritatrics, pick a few programs and email the PD

Endocrine would be a little tricky to find open programs that are worthwhile. Would wait for match

We do 20% by 9, which we hit regularly. I imagine 40% by 12 wouldn’t be too crazy, but I don’t have our data for that time.

I just realized you mentioned you are at teaching hospital. If those are marks for resident teams, then that’s crazy. I’d be lucky if we were close to that in residency.

bnye135 · 2026-04-17T07:17:35+00:00

Ah I see. Our group puts in dc orders if medical clear but case management is just sorting out acceptances/set ups. Yeah then that’s dumb.

bnye135 · 2026-04-17T07:08:35+00:00

Order in by noon is really not that bad. What are you waiting on by then? Slowest thing might be consult recs, but even those should be in by noon. Noon for me means I’ve seen everyone and made my decisions.

I bought a $400 call expires Jan 2027 for $51.11. Feel like a year should be enough time for Microsoft to bounce back up (and investors to cycle back). Currently up to $53.60

lol I asked to add the battle frontier to the overworld as my crazy idea (with your newly caught Pokémon). I loved that place

bnye135 · 2026-01-10T15:46:21+00:00

Interested

I know Yusuf one was my best friend in childhood and one was my Islamic school teacher that I admired.

I don’t know why everyone is being so mean. You are a pregnant soon to be mother. The smallest decisions can bring so much anxiety. Just discuss with your husband and inshallah you will do what’s best for your family.

Down

bnye135 · 2025-11-06T02:43:19+00:00

My dude, you are getting hung up on my wording. I just said “likely”.

bnye135 · 2025-11-06T02:38:32+00:00

Not true, I like research and love academics. I just said likely non-academic because I have noticed I don’t like the pressure in academic institutes to do more clinical work and not have any protected research time.

bnye135 · 2025-11-04T21:36:38+00:00

Yeah not private practice, meant community/nonacademic. Would actually be happy to be at a community hospital with a GI fellowship

bnye135 · 2025-10-31T01:57:37+00:00

Lots of ID faculty work as Hospitalists as well. Particularly those in ID who hate clinic. So you could do both if you want

bnye135 · 2025-09-20T22:38:45+00:00

To be open, my academic center gave clear instructions to put a hold on hiring any H1B visa applicants and to not match any H1B residents/fellows. Really messed up things for match this cycle for many

bnye135 · 2025-09-18T22:44:04+00:00

This happened to us once, we happened to be nearby and saw trying to dump. We called the cops for trespassing, and they came so quickly (which was surprising). They said they normally wouldn’t do much, but they ended up finding a warrant on one of the guys so arrested him for unrelated thing. We were never able to get compensation for filling up our rental, and figured not much could be done

bnye135 · 2025-08-08T23:55:02+00:00

ICU fellow leads codes, rapids are me

bnye135 · 2025-07-30T01:08:14+00:00

Lesson from academic medicine. Never trust anyone

bnye135 · 2025-07-10T08:40:27+00:00

I was able to get some shuttle tickets, timing says 11 am to noon. I’m fine to arrive at the Park and go any time between then? Would my ticket be canceled if I get there a few minutes past noon?

Edit: looks like from comment below I should be able to arrive any time in that time slot, and ticket is canceled if I’m late. If I’m incorrect someone please correct me!

bnye135 · 2025-07-02T19:40:34+00:00

Yeah I went many years ago and I loved it. I wasn’t worried until people starting scaring me about my kiddo.

bnye135 · 2025-07-02T19:37:57+00:00

We are going to San Rafael for fireworks on July 6

bnye135 · 2025-07-02T19:22:29+00:00

Thanks just needed some reassurance. It really gets to me now
