I don't like being the bearer of bad news, but here it goes...

In order to be board eligible in general surgery you can not complete your training at more than three institutions. Statement straight from ABS:

• The ABS instituted in 2007 a new limit on the number of programs by which an applicant for general surgery certification may complete residency training.
• Effective with residents graduating in the 2007-2008 academic year or thereafter, the 5 years of progressive general surgery residency training (PGY 1-5) must be accomplished at no more than 3 residency programs for an individual's application for certification to be accepted.

If I'm reading this right, he's already been through three programs. I find it highly unlikely any general surgery program will take someone that is no longer board eligible. Maybe others can comment about that aspect who have more experience with it.
