Ok, so I feel like we literally just got out of the match drama and now all of a sudden DH has started the narrowing down of fellowship locations/specialty. He wants to be in Dermatopathology, which of course is competitive to both Dermatologists AND Pathologists.
We would love for his fellowship to be in Birmingham since by that point we will have children (hopefully) and their grandparents would be close by to help us if we needed it. I wasn't really worried about it until YESTERDAY when he dropped the bomb on me that he has to start applying SECOND YEAR for these positions. AHHHHHHHHHHH. What in the world? Who came up with these systems?
Anyway, if there is anyone who has any experience with the fellowship process, I would love to hear some advice/help/reassurance that it is NOTHING like the Match.
PS I am so happy that I found this group. It's really helped me in this transition to residency. Love ya'll!
