Hi guys,
I am a current CA-2 resident. Allopathic grad, good board scores, excellent in-training exam scores from CA-1 year. However I have struggled mightily at my current program, which has given me multiple unsatisfactory evaluations, and with each new evaluation my confidence shrinks further and further. Recently I was informed by my program that I should consider switching specialties as they are worried I don't have "what it takes" to graduate. I do NOT want to leave anesthesia but I find it next to impossible to try to succeed where I am now, even if they let me keep working, because I feel they have already given up on me.
I am trying to be up front with my issues, and I know I have them, but I know I can succeed in anesthesia. I have gotten good reviews from the more "outside" rotations (affiliated practices/sites not in our main institution), and my best eval was from a rotation that my PD says is usually one of the toughest graders. This is why I still feel there is a chance that I can make it, even if my program doesn't agree. So here I am.
If anyone out there can let me know of any openings, and how to contact your program, I would really really be grateful. My PD already knows that I am exploring a transfer. Thank you all, and please get back to me if you think you can help.
