I recently matched to an IM but had to withdraw due to personal and family reasons that I felt it was important to take care of before starting a difficult year.
I realize that's not very specific, but my withdrawal was mutually-agreed upon and, from what I understand, would not constitute an NRMP violation (although I could be wrong here).
I am hoping to reapply for a PGY-1 position in IM this upcoming ERAS cycle. I realize my chances are significantly decreased at this point, but I was planning on doing the following:
1) applying to smaller community programs
2) applying to programs that I interviewed at last year but ranked lower on my match list.
Is this a fairly safe strategy?
In the meantime, I'm hoping to find either a research position or a job at a clinic. I also plan on studying and taking Step 3 in one of the states that doesn't require any PGY experience to take it.
Has anyone had a similar experience or even know what my chances might be at this point of ever matching again?
ANY input or advice would be much appreciated. Pretty desperate here for any help at all at this point. Thanks
