So I have a question.
If I am trying to be sure I have a good backup if urology doesnt match and I need a "bridge" year for a second try. I am a DO student so we have tons of "traditional rotating internships" which are more or less identical to the transitional year in the MD end. So my question here is what would be a better backup to actually have a good chance at a second round at urology.
A prelim surgery year or a "TRI" (which for the sake of the argument treat identical to a transitional year), which is best for my chances? I think a prelim surgery probably gives me the best odds just becase I can slip right in, but the TRI gives me some time to do some research on the side while doing it too, which may help me out.
