I'm currently a prelim in a big program... I was under the impression that if I match in a PGY1 categorical spot, programs wouldn't need to pay for my insurance for an extra year... But now I heard otherwise. So, I'm thinking of not applying to gen surg and just feeding off the PGY2 spots that open up later on, as there's no way in hell a program would take me knowing they need to pay extra for one year of insurance.
Any thoughts on that?
