Hey guys, congrats to all of you who matched. Thats awesome.

Anyhow, so i wasn't interested in internal medicine till i did my prelim year. Now that Ive done it and gotten exposed to more I really want to stay in internal medicine. The thing is, i'd like to be somewhere else for my PGY-2 year than at my current program: not because my program is in any way bad at all, but just that I would like to be in a more academic setting and I prefer living in a more city atmosphere. Anyhow, if any of you guys who are on this site know of any potential openings in the PGY-2 class for this upcoming year starting july2006, i'd really appreciate the help.

Thanks

I am afraid you might be a little bit too late... I knew there were positions open in University of Iowa, Cornell, USCD, University of MInnesota and University of MIami, but this was in december/january and I assume they might be filled as of now.
You might want to pick up the phone and call programs' secretaries or email them...

Good luck

A friend of mine is a Prelim and picked up a PGY-2 spot at George Washington University, to start in 2006. He notified me regarding this in January of 2006. I am not sure if they had more than one open spot, but it might be worth looking into. I would agree with the strategy of getting on the internet and phone and contacting as many programs as possible. Find-A-Resident might be worth the investment. Good luck!

I have heard through the grapevine that Norwalk Hospital (CT) has a history of "terminating the employment" of some of its weaker-performing PGY-1s in the Medicine Department. Maybe you can inquire there!

hey thanks guys for the advice...yeah im just looking...it was weird because everyone i called in december / january told me to check back later...and I must have horrible luck because no matter who I call or when, they just tell me they dont have any available spots...im still looking and hoping someone replies.

And yeah GW didnt have any more spots. I started talking to them but then this resident who said he was leaving changed his mind and decided to stay so that was unfortunate.

Long Island Jewish medical center has 2 PGY-2 openings for July 2006 if one or more of them isn't filled by now.

Here is the listing from findaresident.com One would have to subscribe for more detailed information, but it seems as though there are some PGY-2 spots, still available. Subscribing should be worth the cost. Good luck!

hey thanks guys...i just emailed long island jewish, im assuming thats the albert einstein affilliated program and not the nyu one right? Well, lets see what they say if they respond.

Just last week, have a opening at Tufts-NEMC for PGY-2 spot in Internal Medicine. Great program, excellent fellowship placement. Our program director's email address is: rkopelman@tufts-nemc.org
