Position Wanted Advice needed - PGY4 without a program

[Westminster1234]

My friend's contract was not renewed at his program due to low test scores. He was a rising PGY4 and a US grad. After searching for other positions he wasn't able to get anything new (including in other specialties). His program has not given him any guidance and without help its a bit hard to know what to do.

It would be helpful to know:
1) What are his chances of getting another surgical position
2) What are his chances of getting any medical position and how does he do that (what are the steps at this point in the year and process?)
3) Is there a job he can get right now?
4) Are there any resources (aside from his program) that he can contact for help?

More details would be helpful. Low test scores usually doesn't lead to nonrenewal in the absence of other issues. Perhaps you can pass this along to your "friend" and "ask 'him'" to reply with more information.
