California program PGY2 opening

[littlestar71]

Someone on reddit was spamming that there is a PGY 2 spot open in a Los Angeles program starting June 2024, saying not to apply there for “malignant culture.”
Not sure the exact reason of opening but I didn’t think “malignant” culture was the cause of this opening. I think their program is doing better overall in resident satisfaction, but I could be wrong. Would be interested to hear everyone’s thoughts on this.

USC has a known history of being malignant. Reason for the opening was a suicide attempt.

If you can get into ophthalmology, do not waste it by committing suicide. That is really dumb.

If you can't get into ophthalmology, that's also not a good reason for suicide.

Don't do it. I know a resident that did it. So sad.
