It was legit when it was originally posted yesterday and was even on Kaiser's website. Few hours later it was taken down there and listed as filled here.

That was quick.
Even my new program took about 3 weeks before deciding.

There's also the very real possibility that they posted because Kaiser had not reported that the position had been filled after a certain preset amount of time and Kaiser then told them, "not so fast, we filled that position two weeks ago, just forgot to let you guys know."

This was a relatively short-lived opening. Our records indicate:

1. July 28, 2015 7:11 pm EST: This vacancy was posted on Resident Swap from within Kaiser Permanente's network, and the interested applicants were alerted of this vacancy by Resident Swap via email and cell phone text messages.
2. July 29, 2015: This gained a "Featured" status on Resident Swap, and was thus posted here on SDN shortly thereafter (as 1st post in this thread, on 2:21 pm, although time-zone of this forum is unclear - Pacific?).
3. July 29, 2015 6:41 pm EST: Residency Program removed the post from Resident Swap. Therefore, "FILLED - Not Available" was automatically immediately displayed under the comments within the above SDN post, and the position was removed from Resident Swap.
4. July 30, 2015: A post advertising this position appeared on the hospital's own web-page for the first time, 2 days after being posted on Resident Swap, and several hours after being already removed from Resident Swap due to a "filled" status.
5. August 12, 2015: Post was removed from hospital's web-page.

I do not know why this was posted and removed from the Hospital's own web-page after an apparent delay of a few days. However, statistically, in some hospitals, it is typical to have delays of even several weeks between someone within the department getting the idea of changing the official website, then figuring out which of the IT departments is responsible for maintaining that particular page, then getting appropriate permissions to make the change, possibly further delayed by intervening vacations and other priorities.
