I've already secured a ca-1 position for the 2009 year but would like to switch. Has anyone already gone through this process and has managed to "swap" residencies with someone else? Also, how easy would it be for me if i don't have very persuasive reasons (no sig other, children, family deaths) just a genuine reason to leave the city?
 
Hi,

I am in a similar position. Would like to move to North east. Family reasons. Currently in Miami. Please respond if interested.
 
I am currently a PGY-2 (CA-1) here in NYC. The city has been fun, but I miss being close to my family. Not sure how difficult this process is going to be, but if anyone is interested in a possible swap or other available positions (I have family in Texas and Arizona as well) Please let me know.
Thanks and good luck to everyone...
 
I am in a NJ Anesthesiology program. I'm a PGY1. Anyone in Miami interested in swapping for a NJ program? Please contact me.

Not to throw cold water on this thread, and I believe this has been discussed in the past, but do you honestly believe program directors are going to just let you trade with another resident?
 
To those of you who are interested in a swap, pls let me know if by chance you find a secured possibility somewhere else but are still holding on to your current positions, or if your current positions become open.
As far as the program director comment goes, I personally think it depends on the individual program directors. Some may be more receptive than others. Probably because of all the paper work involved (?).
