MSK Discussion 2021-2022 Fellowship year
Posted by dradipooja_876 on August 21, 2019 at 12:30 pmI am starting a thread for those who will be applying at the end of this year for start date July 2021.
For those of you who just matched to MSK fellowship, please post your thoughts and what you learned about during fellowships during the interview season to help future applicants.
General Advice:
The people I spoke to interviewed at between 7 and 14 programs.
This year, there were more spots than applicants, but most of the programs along the east coast and west coast were still competitive and filled.
Most of the applicants from top tier programs stayed internal and filled spots internally without even going on interviews.
The criteria that programs seemed to care about is PD letter, MSK specific research, Chief resident status, geographic proximity, and step scores. No one seemed to pay much attention to medical school transcript and medical school dean’s letter even though the programs ask for it. Don’t treat programs with one spot and programs with as many internal candidates as spots as safeties.
Probably half of the programs accept the common SSR application form, but every program requires individual submission of all the required documents.Some thoughts I had about specific programs:
University of Maryland: Good general training, unpaid general community shifts required weekly where you are signing as final read, ok ultrasound, work with college athletes, no spine imaging in the curriculum which can be a problem if you don’t already feel fully confident to read spine MRI at attending level for job after residency, 2 fellow per year, unsure about moonlighting, in the downtown area of baltimore, better than johns hopkins area
Montefiore Bronx: Old crowded facilities, unattractive location with very bad parking situation, solid general training, filled internally despite having interview season, 1 fellow, mandatory unpaid ED shifts, good sarcoma exposure
Virginia Commonwealth University/VCU: Shiny brand new outpatient orthopedic/MSK site in very nice suburban area outside Richmond, also rotations at the main VCU medical center and other outpatient site, strong orthopedic and rehab departments, includes spine imaging and spine intervention, very nice attendings and pleasant work environment, 3 fellows, low cost of living, recently expanded number of faculty, still growing and hiring attendings
Northwell Hofstra: New program that started about 4 years ago, many new attending hires, one fellow, flexible fellowship, focus from all the attendings since only fellow, suburban long island, moonlighting babysitting outpatient scanner?
Mount Sinai NYC: Also a new program that started 3 or 4 years ago after recovering from a period of bad relationship with orthopedic surgery, recently lost the chief of MSK and fellowship director, only met two attendings that would be staying, but who are recently trained and nice, limited to one location, planning to hire more attendings, interviewed 20 applicants for 1 spot. Very high cost of living.
Yale New Haven: Old reading room but may be upgrading for 2021, near bad part of new haven, very nice attendings, excellent high paying ED moonlighting opportunities, 3 fellows, many neuro fellows, $82K base salary?
Stanford: Top educators who produce excellent lectures on youtube, so you can experience their didactics if you want, excellent sports experience with professional sports, 49ers, very upscale location, high cost of living
University of Virginia: Excellent base pay due to 5 weeks of mandatory night float signing studies as an attending, I think $130K+ base salary, excellent training especially ultrasound and interventions including spine, building new facility that will be finished by 2021, 8 fellows per year, largest program in country, charlottesville is nice city (despite news drama), very respected subspecialty in radiology department, many internal candidates stay every year because they know how strong the program is, Charlottesville is kind of isolated, may need to fly into Richmond and take car
Beth Israel Deaconess BIDMC: More time is spent on procedures and interventions than reading MRIs, great location but expensive, new PD, body call which includes body interventions such as drains and tubes, lots of excellent moonlighting opportunities, 2 fellows, filled one spot internally, didn’t fill other spot for some reason this year
WashU/Mallinckrodt: Tons of high end spine interventions such as kyphoplasty vertebroplasty and ablations, very strong radiology department overall, in st. louis missouri kind of isolated, 4 fellows, strong attendings
Hospital Special Surgery HSS: Very corporate feeling, will learn how to read very high end studies that may not be applicable at other institutions such as meniscus transplants. Very high cost of living. Excellent interventional training and ultrasound training. 7 fellows per year with different areas of focus, high base salary?, acgme accredited
State University of New York Stony Brook: 1 fellow per year, no other radiology fellowships so get to be center of attention, teach residents, rotations with ED attendings, ACGME accredited, constructed new fluoro rooms, surprisingly academic, safe suburban part of long island
Allegheny General Hospital Pittsburgh: sign general studies as attending one out of 5 days, official hospital for Pittsburgh Pirates, two spots, didn’t fill this yearUPenn: Very nice outpatient building, supportive techs, strong ultrasound, moonlighting opportunities, no spine intervention, 3 fellows, one week mandatory night float, one week pediatric rotation at CHOP, one internal candidate this year, $76K base salary?, acgme accredited
Pittsburgh UPMC: Limited interview day, didn’t get to meet any of the fellows or see the facilities, strong faculty, new PD, strong radiology department, work with Steelers and Penguins at very advanced athletic medicine center, workload seems high, 4 positions but didn’t fill any spots this year for some reason, no internal candidates this year
Please add your thoughts!

Good luck all!
Good post, OP.
Just a note on internal filling: It’s important to remember that the MSK match is still very new and a lot of programs got dragged into it kicking and screaming with a gun to their head.
I would expect the phenomenon of internal filling to continue as programs really don’t want to expend lots of resources in a broad interview process.
-
The interviews started at the end of November but ranking was all the way in May. I wonder if the programs even remembered their impressions from the interview when they made the lists.

Deleted UserAugust 23, 2019 at 6:21 pmMSK programs are very varied, it depends on what you want to become proficient at as a fellow. I wanted a program with high MRI/sports/cross sectional volume and paid ER/Body experience. I ranked programs that were heavy on spine intervention low. Aside from arthrograms and bone biopsies I’m not very keen on certain interventions.
-
Some areas of MSK that many programs may not offer include Spine MRI, Diagnostic MSK ultrasound, spine interventions like epidural and facet injections, and other controversial treatments such as PRP, vertebroplasty, and perineural injections.
I havent applied for jobs yet, but based on what fellows have said, it seems like diagnostic ultrasound is not lucrative or as effective as MRI but it isn’t a common skill and can help you find an academic job. Spine MRI is a major bread and butter private practice study and you need to be good at reading them, although you should have some practice from residency. Epidural and facet injections are profitable and very appealing to private practice employers. The other controversial treatments are also generally profitable too. Rare msk tumor followup experience is also probably valuable to academic jobs in tertiary centers.

Deleted UserAugust 24, 2019 at 11:52 amI agree, diagnostic ultrasound is cool if you work at a high volume academic center with trained techs. I don’t see this being the case with most jobs. Spine interventions are very profitable, but something about sticking needles in peoples backs makes me itch lol. I have a lot of training in neuro from my residency and during fellowship, I don’t mind reading Spine or even brain MRIs/CT. I know some people have an aversion to it, but having some exposure in other subspecities during fellowship is key. We will be competing with body radiologists for certain jobs that require GI, GU, thoracic competency. Not everyone is going to get a 100% MSK job out of fellowship. That’s why I don’t mind the ER/general requirement in some fellowships, especially if it pays well and kept to a minimum.

Deleted UserAugust 24, 2019 at 2:07 pmMy impression is that even many unfilled msk programs in the south and Midwest are as strong or even stronger than the brand name programs in the northeast big cities. This seems to be true in IR as well that average named state programs in the south and Midwest have much less competition for cases and experience than the big nyc and Boston cities with multiple programs.
-
totally i agree tp your observations.
Do these areas also offer some small courses in msk ?? like in facet and spine injections or any short certification /diplomas ?
Im from UK and did FRCR and couldnt find the courge to go through extensive study of USMLE.-
These places offers visiting fellowship for CT and MRI, but it looks like not for interventions. The liability for interventions and need for insurance is probably too high.

Current 4th year here, recently matched at my top program for MSK. Being a resident at a large academic center, I applied to ~ 20 programs, got ~ 15 interviews, interviewed in person at 8 programs, on the phone at 1 more. Some of the smaller programs were desperate to interview (one ask me to reconsider when I called to cancel the interview).
During interview season, make sure that the program is a good fit for you. Some are PP oriented, will get you to churn large numbers of bread and butter studies to work on speed, academic places will sell you fancy procedures/ top notch scanners.
As said above, ask if spine is part of MSK (at a lot of places, it’s under neuro), spine interventional, amount of MSK US.
Ask about ACGME accreditation: those that are not can have you work as an attending on call (usually for extra $). Some calls may involved signing out residents.
Ask about academic time (most places will give 1/2 day/week), conference load, call schedule, moonlighting, electives (most programs will give you 1 month), multiple sites to rotate through.
The top of my rank list (from what I recall):
Brigham: Fantastic program, loved the leadership (PD is Jacob Mendell who wrote The Core book, MSK chief is NERRS president), very friendly. 5 fellows.
BI: Great program, very friendly staff, call is in house (including body) and seemed really rough, supervising BI residents. 2 fellows.
NE Baptist: PP oriented in ortho free standing hospital. Hours are chill and great teaching for bread & butter MSK. Call is equally distributed with other attendings, chill. 1 fellow.
Hopkins: High volume, fancy equipment, very academic, friendly faculty. Fellows looked tired but happy. 4 fellows.
Duke: High volume, lots of conferences, fancy equipment, very academic. 7 fellows.
Emory: Weird interview day (offered no food, PD & MSK chief were not there), small volume, seems that they are still building the program (work in progress). But heavy focus on sports MSK with fancy facilities. 4 fellows.
Good luck everybody!-

Quote from BenChod
Thanks to everyone who has contributed already. The junior residents like me appreciate it tremendously! I would love to hear more about the Northeast programs. I’m very interested in NYU. Thanks again!
I think they filled most of their spots internally so they didn’t interview too many people.
-
How competitive is the overall scene in the West coast? Any notable details about these programs? Having some difficulty deciding how many and which programs to apply to.

Competitive.
If you mean to include LA and SF then …. all of them… as far inland as Davis. -

Deleted UserSeptember 10, 2019 at 4:11 amIn general, most programs will have 4-7 interviewees per fellowship spot. The top programs do have high rates of filling, but these numbers vary from year to year, just based on residency class interest. NYU for example has 5 fellows per year, but only had one internal applicant. I cant fault programs for internally filling either, because those residents have had what is essentially a 4 year-long interview.
In my opinion, NYU is the best MSK program in the country. I took 10 interviews at the most prestigious programs (HSS, NYU, UCSD, etc.) and their program was unmatched. The facilities, staff, and training were amazing.
There are only subtle differences between the majority of programs, so ranking programs should be based upon location, quality of life, and the departmental camaraderie that youre looking for. Well all get amazing jobs at the end of this, so getting into HSS or MGH provides menial differences in outcomes. HSS for instance provided a miserable interview day (the only program to do so) and given their notoriety, I couldnt imagine being happy there and only ranked them fifth. I also dont care about big shiny things on my CV, so Ive no qualms about ranking them as such. Programs like NYU, UVA, and UCSD were my favorite programs because they seemed to balance fellow training and quality of life the best. At the end of that process, I am immensely happy with my match result.

Hopefully, programs will consider offering interviews at RSNA this year

Has that ever been a thing?

I dont know if any programs actually did, but SSR was encouraging programs to interview during RSNA to save Resident travel costs and vacation days.

Unknown Member
Deleted UserSeptember 24, 2019 at 4:44 pmThere were a few programs who offered interviews last year. Duke was the most prestigious to do so. Several others offered meet and greets.
-
Is there any way to know in advance which programs will be interviewing at RSNA?
-
Some more reviews:
University of Rochester NY: Underrated solid program with 3 spots. Rotations with the IR department to learn procedures. Rotate at outpatient sites and the main hospital. Strong orthopedic department and pediatric hospital. Very friendly PD.
Johns Hopkins: 4 spots, filled two internally. MRI guided biopsies is unique. Fellows moonlight. PD was nice, the guy attending who trained at HSS seemed very disinterested in the interview. Strong hospital in basically all medical specialties. Sketchy part of Baltimore but fellows can commute from safer neighborhoods

Deleted UserMarch 9, 2020 at 11:32 amIs it ok to do virtual interviews or is it important to attend in person to show interest?
-
We are being encouraged to do virtual interviews from here on out (I am fellowship director at a large academic center in the northeast). I would imagine every program that is still interviewing would be OK doing a virtual interview with coronavirus looming over travel plans.
That being said most of our interviews occurred between Jan and the end of Feb. Not sure how it is elsewhere. -
When are the bulk of interviews? I see that many programs offer interviews at/after RSNA, but are most of them in the new year?
Also does anyone have any info on Midwest programs, particularly in Michigan (Henry Ford, Beaumont, etc)? Thanks 🙂
-
All my interviews were in January, February and one in March. Didnt interview at any Midwest programs.

Please update us now since it is finally out of your hands! Thank you.

Tough year for the programs …. 29% of spots unfilled.
(SO probably a good year to match) -
Matched at my top spot!
And any big names go unmatched?
-
Interesting. Where are you finding this data? And any specifics? Or dont want to reveal haha
-
it’s published on the NRMP site for those that registered for the match! unsure how others would get the info.
-
I’m getting it via text messages from the fellowship director. I presume he’s getting it from the NRMP.
-
Wow so there were 226 msk spots in the match this year? Last year there were only 204. So the fill rate might just be due to more spots?
-
The info from the NRMP:
Total applicants: 157
Total positions: 213 (151 filled (71%), 62 unfilled (29%))
Programs filled: 44 (54%)
Programs unfilled: 38 (46%)
It’s looking like the match process is preferentially favoring large programs with multiple fellowship positions. The smaller programs are at a higher risk of going unfilled. That being said – MSK doesn’t seem to be competitive at the moment (more positions than applicants – and even solid programs / locations have vacant spots).
There’s a real risk of larger programs monopolizing the fellowship positions in the match system. The Harvard system alone between BID, MGH, BWH accounted for 16/16 matched positions whereas other programs like UMass and BU went unfilled — using Massachusetts as an example for a larger problem. -
Maybe the smaller programs will leave the match since it doesn’t seem to offer them any benefits.
-
This is only the second year of the match. So there really isn’t much “usually” to compare to.
-
Where are the open msk spots? If anyone minds sharing would be great!
-
Out of curiosity why does it matter? If you went unmatched you would know this list.
38 programs are unfilled and 62 positions are unfilled
It would be a long list of programs to paste to show all of the unfilled ones. Some of the surprising ones in my opinion:
From a weather or large city perspective: USC, UCLA, UMiami, Maryland
From a name recognition perspective: Hopkins, Mayo Clinic MN, Wash St Louis, MD Anderson, UTSW
But there are several programs in smaller cities and Midwestern programs / Great Lakes programs which went unfilled.
I don’t think whether or not programs filled completely is an adequate representation of the strength of the programs. I think there are simply too many positions and applicants are drawn to the coastal cities. Top tier programs in general filled but there are hidden gems which applicants aren’t taking advantage of.

And *this* is why most of the programs in the US hated the idea of a match in the first place…. except for the big coastal programs who had the idea to start with.
We’ll see who decides to start opting out now. I hope at least a few do.
I’t a PITA. I know everyone in my section would prefer to go back to an ad hoc interview/acceptance system. -
This is extremely early but does anyone know what resources to read before starting fellowship? Of course our class has the unique problem of having core still on the table 🙁

Deleted UserJune 16, 2020 at 3:44 pmI read Musculoskeletal MRI by Helms and Im almost done with the Orthopedic radiology Greenspan book. I should probably pay more attention to reading general rads/body.
-
Congrats on the match, everyone! Any chance at getting more program reviews/feedback for those of us applying this next cycle? It seems that most of the programs in the NE have been commented on so would love to hear about other programs as well. Thanks in advance!
-
Would also be interested to hear from applicants:
Outside of the two main drivers – prestige and location
What are the top deciding factors that you’re looking for in a MSK fellowship program?
MRI volume, Ultrasound volume, Procedure volume, Plain film volume?
Interdisciplinary conferences?
Teaching / personality of staff?
Research opportunities / presence at national / international meetings?
Well known faculty?
Graduate job history?
Gut feeling after interacting with current fellows during the interview day?
I’d be interested in learning as much as possible from applicants. Back when I was applying to MSK fellowship I feel like prestige and location trumped everything – but would be interested to get other points of view. -
Any suggestions how the programs are in philly..comparing Upenn and Jefferson ?
-
I’m sure UPenn is very good but Jefferson is a name I’ve consistently heard as being a top tier place for MSK.
-
Unknown Member
Deleted UserJune 23, 2020 at 2:13 pmJefferson is only good if you want to do high end sports imaging, ie professional sports. If you want tumor, high end procedures, or US, then Jefferson is not the place. UPenn does tons of tumor and US but not the high end procedures.
-
Agreed. I didnt interview at either program but TJ was consistently regarded highly at other places and I know they are very involved with all the national msk organizations and stuff.

The fellowship includes hands-on experience with plain film studies, multi-detector CT, MR imaging, arthrograms, and interventional musculoskeletal procedures (needle biopsies, joint aspirations, epidural steroid injection, facet injections, and nerve root blocks). Fellows are also trained in the interpretation of pediatric orthopedic cases and spine imaging. There are a variety of cases encompassing complex orthopedic trauma, hand, foot, sports, tumors, pediatric and spinal disorders. The section also provides imaging services for a busy Rheumatology Clinic.
Please note that the program can only sponsor H1-B visas, but not J-1s.
For more information on the fellowship and how to apply: [link=https://gme.medicine.uiowa.edu/musculoskeletal-radiology-fellowship/how-apply]https://gme.medicine.uiowa.edu/musculoskeletal-radiology-fellowship/how-apply[/link]
The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics has spent 28 years on U.S. News & World Reports list of Americas Best Hospitals and is ranked by Forbes Magazine as a Top 5 health care employer. Iowa City is a unique location in the Midwest, and is North America’s only UNESCO City of Literature! A mid-sized college town with a low cost of living, excellent schools, and short commutes, Iowa City ranks as one of Americas best places to live. The area offers hiking, biking, kayaking, sports events, wineries, craft breweries, music festivals, Broadway shows, farmers markets, family friendly activities, and the list goes on. We are centrally located between Chicago, Minneapolis, Kansas City, and Omaha – all just a 4-5 hour drive away.
-
Based on my interviews in the past (and now from knowing several people at these places)… Penn for tumor, rheumatology, and PhD type research. more formal atmosphere overall
Jefferson for sports, high volume, ultrasound and more relaxed atmosphere

Unexpected opening – VCU Musculoskeletal Imaging Fellowship 2021-2022
We have an opening for a one-year Non-ACGME Musculoskeletal Imaging Fellowship position at Virginia Commonwealth University for 2021-2022. We are a highly regarded hospital system in Richmond, the capital city of Virginia. The VCU Musculoskeletal Imaging and Intervention fellowship is a one-year program. Fellows are predominantly based in a brand new state-of-the-art Orthopedic Imaging outpatient center in the vibrant Short Pump area, a suburb just outside of Richmond. Fellows also rotate at our other outpatient center (Stony Point) and at our main VCU medical center. We have 6 musculoskeletal trained faculty and are still expanding. We currently have 3 fellows and are hoping to have a full complement of 3 fellows again for 2021. Fellows in our program will become experts at all aspects of musculoskeletal imaging, including spine imaging, and at performing MSK procedures (CT and US guided biopsies, joint injections/aspirations, epidural steroid injection, facet injections). We have a high daily volume of MSK CT, MRI and US. Our department includes friendly and expertly trained support staff to assist with all interventional procedures. The MSK section works closely with VCU’s large and highly rated Orthopedic department, as well as the Rheumatology and PMR departments. Our fellows focus on cross-sectional imaging. Also, optional in-house MSK moonlighting opportunities have allowed recent fellows to more than double their base salary.
The Richmond area is a great place to live and to raise a family. It has been regularly ranked on US News’s lists for Best Places to Live and Best Places to Retire.

Henry Ford does lots of MSK Ultrasound and procedures and sports medicine and has a stable faculty that does research and projects
U of M is academic but with the new chairman the division is in a bit of disarray
Beaumont is a very good community hospital
so for the next few years
