Is there a place to find open positions online- like a formal list?

Thank you all 🙂

Are you talking about open anesthesia residency spots? They’re pretty rare - usually programs can find someone even a marginal internal prelim resident (or, more commonly, disgruntled surgery resident) to fill rather than openly post a position. Especially in times like these when you can’t formally interview applicants, at least easily.

If you mean jobs then see above

I just stalked him/her a bit. S/he is an intern matched into surgical subspecialty. Having second thoughts....

We can all understand that. Just make sure you think it through. Medicine in general is a huge sacrifice. You matching into that specialty for a reason and in general many feel that anesthesiology is an escape route, but really, take a time to read this board a bit. Many of us love the field and probably wouldn't do anything else, but if the above is true and you're matched to a surgical subspecialty, when you've finished residency you'll be able to make your life whatever you want. We can only do that to an extent in this field

Again, I understand personal issues come up, some of which are grave, but I would honestly find ways to work it out before huge career shifts. This is just my opinion and food for thought and not mean to be a personal jab.
