with the change in the traditional internships and the linked internships, what would be the best move for a back up plan if I don't match with ortho-
1. apply to a general surgery residency- in reality, are you really able to transfer later to an ortho program?
2. apply to a traditional rotating intership and then apply next year to ortho
3. scramble in feb. and take anything available
4. take a year off for research, then reapply
5. something else I haven't thought of
Is the financial problem only related to transferring from one linked residency to another or does it apply to the traditional intership as well?
