Does anybody have any experience with students who match into PM&R after taking a year off after 4th year? Is it easy or tough to do (i'm sure tougher than the traditional path but any more info is appreciated)?

Thanks

Hard to answer your question without more info. Tell us a bit more about yourself. What did you do this past year and why did you take the year off?

I am possibly going to take next year off (after 4th year). I am debating between PM&R and another specialty and was going to take a year off in between if I apply for one of them and don't match rather than applying for both.

Do you have a good reason for taking the year off?
