switching residency

looking for some advice from anyone that’s switched specialties in general, or if anyone has switched into psychiatry. Contact you in an addiction medicine fellowship, and thought that emergency medicine would be a better path, but I have realized that I am always drawn towards the psychiatric...

EM PGY-1 here. I switched to EM late in 4th year of medical school after dual applying for a surgical subspecialty. I SOAPed into EM and have regretted it a lot. Somehow I made it through this intern year, and I am finishing my last month in the ED as an intern. My program is aware of my desire...

4th year decided this week to do IM. My school's IM department had a lot of advising sessions but I missed them all because I was undecided. I'm feeling a little stressed because I'm on a different timeline compared to my other IM-bound peers, but I'm hopeful that it will work out. I need to...

PGY-1 really worried about going into anesthesia. I really enjoyed anesthesia as a medical student but after doing my rotations in the ICU I’m starting to think I made a terrible choice for my personality. I didn’t realize how much ICU is a part of anesthesia and I’m at a program where we do 2...

I'm currently a PGY1 EM resident in north florida and am looking to transfer or swap to a south florida program- either to restart PGY1 or as a PGY2. Help! :)

Putting feelers out to see if anyone has done this and what their experience has been? Current PGY2 Anesthesia resident, was torn between Anesthesia and EM so interviewed and applied both. Ranked Anesthesia higher, matched to a great program. Realize now that I miss the teamwork, diagnostics...

Hi, I am an IM PGY1 resident at a university program in TX. I am also an IMG and a permanent resident. I feel I enjoy Neurology more than IM and am interested in switching speciality and would like to apply for PGY2 (R) positions in the upcoming match. I would also like to live close to my...

I originally applied EM. I went into the match with only one SLOE. This was because I could not get an away rotation any sooner. I failed to match and SOAP'ed into a different specialty. I really tried to make it work. I like the program and the people are great. The specialty just isn't for me...

Hi y'all, I graduated from medical school in 2014 and started OB/GYN residency training at that time up until June 2016. I had family issues that I had to take care of which messed with my ability to pass USMLE Step 3 within the three allowed attempts for Texas licensure and for contract...

Hey there. I have a question, hoping to get some information regarding the process of transfer. My wife and i matched this year into PGY1, but unfortunately she matched in Florida and I matched in NY (as we did not apply for a couple match). Now we are wondering what are the options available to...
