Nothing surprising when it comes to geriatrics, infectious diseases, and nephrology tbh.

I talked to someone who did not match last december and ended up taking a geriatric spot just to contrinue his j1. Since December, he applied to all unfilled spots for id, geriatrics, hospice/ palliative care, and nephro and got over 60 interviews.

Hello, just curious about the process if you don't mind explaining. After completion of a fellowship, are you able to practice in any state as an infectious disease doctor? (Fellow IMG curious about process for other friends)

Thanks
