I have completed a residency (now board certified) in a primary care specialty and am completing a military obligation for the HPSP scholarship. When my service obligation is finished, I am considering applying to anesthesia residency instead of a subspecialty fellowship for a variety of reasons. I have tried searching the forums — what does this process look like? Would I need to apply to ERAS in my final year of service (like a m4), or do I apply in advance (to match ~16 months ahead of CA1 start)? Has anyone navigated this process recently and have light to share?
