I am a US grad and current prelim who will be reapplying to an advanced position this year. I am hopeful I will match, and am trying to plan for that contingency. Specifically, the piece where a "gap year" between the end of prelim and start of my advanced position.
The question is: what can I do to pay rent during that year with a prelim year under my belt but no residency (and thus no board certification or eligibility)? I have asked program directors, deans, advisers, residents, corporate headhunters, etc, and no one seems to be able to know what some one with my qualifications can legally do.
I have heard AIDScorps, locum tenens, urgent care clinics, Indian reservations, prisons (very, very last resort), and more, but a job search shows "BC/BE" requirement on almost everything. I've done significant legwork on this but am not coming up with clarity on what I can do for work.
I appreciate any advice on who to talk to or job sites to visit. Thanks for your time.
