I am an AMG with good board scores who always wanted to do psychiatry but became sidetracked and did another residency instead. I wanted to switch to psych during med school but I had family emergency during that time plus my PD suggested that if I stayed I can do a fellowship in brain injury rehab which is somehow related to psych. I completed my residency this year and now half way through my fellowship; and even though I enjoy TBI fellowship more than my residency, Im still unfulfilled and there is still a desire and passion for psych because I truly believe iit is my true calling. I want to start psych residency when I complete this fellowship in July.
Questions for anyone who can help
1. Do you know any psych programs thats willing accept someone who has already completed a first residency?
2. Is it too late to apply for starting this year?
3. Do I need to go through the match for next year?
4. Ive passed my step one of my board certification and step 2 is in May and frankly, I dont care for doing it as I dont plan on practicising my primary specialty, Any thoughts on whether or not to get board certified?
Thanks.
