Residency & Fellowship
Residency and fellowship decisions shape a physician’s whole career. These guides help medical students, residents and fellows make them with real data instead of rumor: how long training takes in each specialty, which hospitals train the most residents and fellows, how to research a residency program before the interview, what to ask on interview day, how to compare fellowship options, and where graduates of each medical school end up practicing. We draw on Medicare hospital cost reports, ACGME program lengths, the NPI Registry and Medicare Care Compare, and link every figure to the hospital, specialty and school pages behind it.
