hey there!
i have a slight dilemma/crisis. so, i'm a MSIV who will be matching into gen surg (categorical) this year. earlier this year, i debated heavily between gen surg and anesthesiology, but eventually chose gen surg. however, i've come to my senses in the last few weeks, and i realize that anesthesia is by far the better choice. since i've already applied through eras to gen surg (and assumingly it's too late to apply to prelim years or anesthesiology), what do you guys think is the most sensible plan for me. match in a categorical spot in gen surg this year, then go through the 2009-10 eras cycle during my intern year for a ca-1 spot in anesthesiology? do people do this successfully and get a good spot in anesthesia?
thanks so much!
