I have a question. If one tries to match into an allo residency program, but is unsuccessfully so, one is likely to miss the good osteo programs by that time. My question is what happens when one doesn't match in any program at all. Can that person recover in the next year match? Does that look bad on this person's resume? In short, does one have to match into a program after one's 4th year of med school? What kind of option can one have?
About switching specialties, I read on this site that it can be done. I figure one can switch from a competitive residency to a less competitive one. What about the other way around? Can one switch into, say a surgery residency, after spending a couple years in emergency medicine residency?
