Well, it looks like I'll try to scramble and if that fails then who knows. I'm debating whether to do a Transitional Year or try to scramble into either an ER or IM residency. Do most Ophtho programs accept a PGY-1 year in ER as a prerequisite for an Ophthalmology residency, or do they only accept TY's, prelim Med, prelim Peds, and prelim Surg?

ER has been accepted in the past for a ophtho residency.
