Stay in worman mills area.

Havent used for 2 yrs. I tried to inflate tires in my own..couldnt do it.

I’m currently working as a nocturnist on a J-1 waiver position that will finish in 2027, and I’m interested in applying for Rheumatology fellowship. However, I currently have very limited rheumatology-related experience, research, or CV-building activities.

I’m trying to decide whether it’s realistic to strengthen my CV enough within the next 2–3 months to apply in the upcoming cycle, or whether it would be wiser to wait and apply next year with a stronger application.

Given my limited time outside of a busy hospitalist/night-shift schedule, where would you recommend I start? Are there specific research opportunities, case reports, conferences, mentorship pathways, or networking strategies that would give the highest yield in a short period of time?

I would really appreciate guidance from anyone who transitioned into Rheumatology later or applied while working full-time as a hospitalist.

Also At the same time, I had previously applied to Sleep Medicine in 2024 and received 23 interviews, but I ultimately decided to complete my J-1 waiver first instead of pursuing fellowship at that time. Because of that, I’m also considering Sleep Medicine seriously, especially since it seems to offer a lighter and more sustainable lifestyle long-term.

So what would be the best thing to do so far.

Im sure i do not want to continue being a hospitalist after ny waiver end. I can however 1 year additonal to make ny cv if i reaaaly have to.
