Hello,
I am nearing the end of my PGY-III year and did interview with two jobs prior to everything getting shut down. While I have not received an official offer, both places informed me of intent to submit an offer letter to me if I were interested. Both places then requested that this continue once things have died down with the Covid-19 virus as I am still more than a year out of graduation. I have heard that some hospital systems and states hospitals are doing hiring freezes in my area, but it is unclear as to whether this is with psychiatrists or not.
Throughout residency, I have had an interest in applying for a forensic fellowship, but was leaning towards forgoing that to work right away due to my desire to pay off my student loans.
My question would be with everything going on, would it be better to consider doing the fellowship so that I can see how things play out? I know one of the jobs will likely still be hiring (constant hiring) but the other may not and I am ok with this.
