Hey guys,
As the thread title suggests I'm wanting to switch from Radiology (currently pgy-1) into anesthesia with an ideal start date of 2014 as a first year gas resident. I just wanted to post here to ask if anyone has successfully done this before and could share any advice? I've heard that anesthesia offers positions outside the match but that this year or last there was a new rule stating that all positions had to be through the match. Anyone know if this is the case or if positions are still held outside the match?
My other big question is if I do need to re-apply through the NRMP match again, does anyone know how an intern gets a token to apply? (would it be through my medical school again?) Thanks again guys.
For reference, good student, no red flags, 240's/250's step1/2, no issues with current residency program.
