Hey guys
I'm a current fm pgy1 thinking very seriously about switching into ob gyn. I always had a bit of liking for ob and did well in my rotation in med school and did a sub I but at the last minute applied to family. That being said I am feeling a call to ob and miss it. I have talked to the ob program director at my institution and he seems to be impressed with my performance on our two month rotation. All the chiefs said they would live to have me and would put in a good word for me. One if the attendings even pulled me aside and asked why I didn't do ob. I would have to go through this year's match and apply here.
I'm sort of freaking out about talking to my program director about the switch. I don't even know how to bring it up. I also only plan in applying to only this one program at our institution (family lives here, wifes job is here) and if for some reason I didn't match here would like to end up staying at my fm program, id hate to lose my spot. I really do love my program, though I think I'd be happier in ob and feel in have a good opportunity.
Any help is appreciated. Any good ways to bring it up and word it so I can stay where I am if it falls through would be great.
