categorical or advanced

[castafari]

I am a DO applying for an MD residency. I have been applying for Categorical slots. I have just realized that I could do an AOA internship and then start as PGY 2 at an anesthesia program. Should I go back and apply to the same programs for advanced slots?

Yes! I did.

I would, just because otherwise you're closing yourself out of a lot of potential spots.
