Hello,

Due to family reasons, I hope to stay in a particular area for residency. I was wondering how sympathetic are PDs to this. Obviously, I wouldn't apply to something that I don't want to do and happy if I match into any of the program I apply to. Thanks.
 
It's been done. I imagine it could get uncomfortable if/when PD's find out, but if you explain, they should be sympathetic (although this is not guaranteed). It might help if you had a "theme" (i.e. instead of blanket applications to all specialties, pick some aspect of medicine you're particularly interested in and apply to all things that have something to do with it). Best of luck.
