Hello. Does anyone know of any resources for finding open PGY4 psychiatry residency spots. For example, if a program has multiple people fast-track to child. Or any open positions available.
You can look at APA website. There is a subforum here (Internship, Residency and Fellowship Positions) for that too. May help to call programs in a region you are targeting. Of course, they may want to know why you want the position and why you are leaving your program.
Wow I wish my residency had done this. If we had too many people fast track, the remainder (or more junior residents in a very popular year) just sucked it up. I didn't know anywhere did this.

I know of exactly zero programs who will take on a PGY-IV because they lose PGY-IVS to fast tracking child residents. Most PGY-IV programs like the extra office space and don't miss the residents who are doing mostly electives. I would be hard pressed to take a PGY-IV who I barely trained and graduate them. It just doesn't add up.
Our PD recently noted that ACGME approves residencies on total complement, not PGY year, i.e., if 2 residents left for fast track the program could fill those two spots with a PGY2 and a PGY3 if they wanted to.

Definitely agree that psych residency is too long. It's an indentured servitude thing however and thus I don't think there's any systemic desire for change. It would make PGY-1's and 2's dramatically less valuable to the system.
