Hi,
I'm currently a pgy-2 anesthesia resident in my 4th month and am seriously considering trying to rematch into PMR. I haven't liked anesthesiology since the beginning of my training, but was hoping it would get better as I got more accustomed to the OR and my new program. It hasn't. I loved my pain management rotation and understand that I could just stick it out to get into a pain fellowship, but there are only 3 months of Pain during the three years of residency and it makes me incredibly anxious thinking about completing all of the highly stressful OR months that are coming. I think my personality would be a much better fit for PMR. I know that I have to get moving on the application if I'm going to do this.
Just wondering if anyone out there has made the same switch and what their experiences have been. I searched for other topics but didn't find anything specifically. If I missed any, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance for any advice, thoughts, or help.
