Is it possible to move from a PGY 1 prelim spot at one program to a PG2 prelim spot at another program, I know there are not many out there?

That's debatable.I would guess it's better than starting out pgy1 prelim at another program in case a rare chance a pgy3 spot ever opens up the next year

You also have to remember that you are limited to three total training programs to be eligible for board certification...
Do prelim years count towards this?
I was told by an attending that PG-4 year has 80 open spots as residents go into fellowships, so some of the bigger programs end up having residents from community programs, take their spots as they move programs, that's why I heard about PG 1 and 2 prelim spots but was wondering about PG3 spots for prelim if they existed so one could jump to a PG4 categorical spot in those programs after completing 3 prelim years
And about the open PG 2 spots, I thought most just end up going to prelim residents with in the program that were PG1 prelims so not sure how competitive one has to be to get them
