My goal is to go into Family Medicine, but I did not match this time. However, I have an opportunity for a one-year PGY 1 Internal Medicine preliminary program which I was thinking about taking and reapplying to Family Medicine next match. This would prevent me from becoming stale.
However, I was warned preliminary program is likely a positive if you are able to do it. Just make sure that it doesn't use up ayear of your GME funding, as that would make you a less desirable candidate to some programs.
Whatare the limitations on GME funding and would this use up a year of it? Is there a limitation on years of GME funding?
Isthere a web site that explains GME funding?
