Hey guys,

For intern year, can I do either a TY or Prelim-Med year?

Thanks,

Coastie


yes, either will work. you can also opt for a prelim year in surgery as a third option, but i think that route is a little more risky (alot of surgery programs set their first year up as essentially a scut work year where you are essentially paying your dues so that you can get more OR time and opportunities for decision making later in your education)
