Hello:
I think I already know the answer to this but I would like to get input from others. I fast-tracked into a child psychiatry fellowship program, and am now in my first of two years (PGY-4).
An academic job opportunity has opened up that I am very interested in for 7/1/14. It's the sort of job that is pretty much ideal for me and I can see myself in this role and such. It is not the sort of opportunity that comes along very often and I feel quite compelled to snag it while I can.
If I was to take it, I would finish my PGY-4 year, and NOT do my PGY-5 year. Thus, I would be Boarded in General Psychiatry, and not Child Psychiatry, which is NOT a problem for me at all.
So, I guess I don't have a "question," just looking for thoughts I guess. Is this sort of thing done - ie., leaving a child program 1/2 way through? How frowned upon is this? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks all!
