I'm considering my future path to residency. I have to admit, I didn't know much about the whole internship aspect of things. Someone who graduated decades ago was telling me that for some specialties (e.g. general surgery), you have to match into an internship and residency, which may not be at the same place, and you have to do 1 year internship before you can start your residency. For other specialties (e.g. psychiatry), you don't need to do that. Is that accurate? (Mentioning these two specialties specifically, because those interest me.)
How common is it that you can get your internship rolled into you residency? Any resources on where I can learn more about this whole thing would be welcome. Thanks.
