Hello,
I joined a PGY-4 Chief Resident position as I was interested in academics and applying to a fellowship. However, I left the position after 7 months for personal reasons. I ended up matching to a fellowship. However, I submitted an NRMP waiver since I had not completed the Chief Year, as I could not fulfill the obligation given my circumstances.
I am wondering if I reapply do I have to mention the Chief Resident position? I had already graduated. The above was not ACGME "postgraduate" training but rather a voluntary position, so to speak. I'd rather not address it altogether since it was a net negative experience for me. I am going to be a hospitalist in my hometown for the next year or two and then reapply.
Thank you
