I am currently in a PGY-1 Internal Medicine prelim program. I am doing well, and want to continue Internal Medicine but my program won't tell anyone of us before March who they are gonna promote among us (there are a bunch of us). Some of us are applying again for PGY-1 spot this season. I am reluctant to repeat the intern year. I spoke to some seniors in the program who advised me to make it known that I intend to stay and not apply as it would be seen as a lack of interest (they would know it if you apply). I was told that it would also give the PD a sense of obligation to keep me if I keep doing well, and not apply. My question is how hard or easy its to find an off-cycle Internal Medicine PGY-2 if I take the risk of not applying, and didn't get promotion (Connections matter in our program, and I don't have any as of now).
