OP hasn’t put in his full story/vignette because he’s actually started like 5 threads on this topic and losers like me who are always on SDN have seen them all.
I’ll summarize since this is readily available if you piece through the threads. OP, contact me if you want me to delete my post.
OP has received credit for 2 years of residency. They have worked in residency for 3 years. This year it was decided OP was not up to par and unable to recognize urgent situations. His/her is an advanced one with a total of 4 years. The contract was not renewed for this upcoming July so OP will not be promoted to fourth year. In these cases I am not sure why OP could not have repeated a year but we are well beyond that and OP has agreed with his PD that his current field isn’t a good fit so he can’t apply to that and IM with the information in his letters. That’s left Occupational Med as the best fit with discussions with his PD and personal preferences. He tried to find a occupational position for this year but they’ve all tried up. He will try again and likely be accepted for next match in July 2022.
In the meantime OP has no way to support his family for a little over a year. He is a US medical graduate. To add to the saga, even though OP has completed intern year, received PGY-2 credit, and actually did PGY-3, OP is not being granted a license in a state that traditionally only requires an intern year because I’m pretty sure there was some wording that the program wrote about him not being able to practice unsupervised which is understood if one doesn’t complete residency so I’m not sure why it was written as an additional precaution in his paperwork to the board from the program’s end. Anyways, this makes it so that he can not practice any form of medicine in the US (without supervision) which is impossible to obtain unless you have a residency which OP can’t obtain until July 2022.
It’s freaking ridiculous.
@Splenda88 you had some thoughts on possibilities of OP can’t get his unrestricted license. I am certain he’ll have a residency in July 2022 but until then wt-expletive does he do?
Let’s start a discussion on that. I think it’s be very helpful to OP and the masses kin this situation. I’m just going to post speculations. Please correct me.
1.) Missouri. What’s going on with that. Apparently medical school graduates can do stuff there supervised? Or is it unsupervised?
2.) Work for insurance companies? This is out. You’re basically doing the job of a middle school student filling out paperwork but apparently if doctors do it insurance companies can bill more and patients don’t have to see their PCPs. The argument is this is for underserved areas.
3.) Prisons/Indian Reserves/VA - I think these are out. Vohra wound care is out. While they don’t say it explicitly on their website they’re essentially describing someone who has the unrestricted license.
4.) Test company consultant. OP, were your USMLE scores good? You may find something profitable working for Kaplan/etc. writing test bank questions or tutoring. This is until July 2022.
5.) OP, can you try to a different state to find a license?
