Hi guys!
I found myself in a difficult position and I would appreciate your advice.
I joined an IM fellowship program on July 1, 2017. Unfortunately last week I found out that the program might have its accreditation suspended as of July 1, 2018. I am in a unique position because I am in a research track (1 year of research + 3 years of clinical fellowship). I matched into that spot via NRMP. I am in my research year now, so what I need is a spot for the clinical part of the fellowship. I have read both on NRMP website and in multiple threads here on SDN that after I match I am obliged to work in the program (and not pursue any other one) only for 45 days. I would like to apply for the same fellowship via Eras and match again via NRMP. However I am not entirely sure if I am allowed to do that even after those 45 days lapse? I do not want to violate the previous match I participated in. Does anybody have any knowledge or experience in that field?
I would really appreciate your input.
