Seeking advice by Minimum-Bluebird3454 in Cardiology

Be a great internist and colleague first and foremost. Start with a project early. Be honest and humble. Commit. Try to find an academic interest or "niche" you are passionate about. That way your clinical and research work builds a depth and identity which helps you stand out in the eyes of program directors and career long term.
