I imagine you could.

Another question. Do people actually successfully swap? I just think that if I was a PD and you came to me with a swap, I would say, "we will help you move on, but I don't want your resident swap, piss off."

I've mentioned that before. Residents aren't replaceable widgets. And it's not like a Peds PGY-1 and IM PGY-1 can just "swap spots".

I was going to point out that this is just as ridiculous as setting up a website where people unhappy in their marriage can find someone else to swap with -- seems like the spouses might have a say in that. But, then I thought: Someone's probably done that. And I bet someone will post it on this thread.

I think a few major television networks have beat you to it!
