Hi everyone,
I was recently put on probation in my residency and was wondering if anyone had any experience or advice while on residency probation? My anxiety is through the roof and what's left of any self esteem I had is now gone. It worries me knowing that by the time they re-evaluate me next month I could possibly be terminated despite having two more months of residency left.
I am a PGY2 (did PGY1 somewhere else) and there's a few concerning things about my progress that caused me to be in this predicament. This was all exacerbated when I was unprepared for a topic discussion. There's no excuse but the reason I was unprepared was because it fell on the same day I had to present grand rounds and I spent the entire night before preparing for grand rounds instead of reviewing the topic. Because I wasn't ready for a topic discussion this was essentially missing a deadline which my program takes extremely seriously as it reflects professionalism. Another concerning thing is after a rotation I am unfortunately not hitting enough "Achieved" on PharmAcademic and only getting "Satisfactory Progress". Like any residency, you need 75-80% "Achieved" by the end of the year to pass. Upon receiving this news, I am now waking up at 5 am and on some nights spending time in the office until Midnight working on projects/research/topic discussions to be completely prepared. I am so anxious to know what will be next month. Has anyone had any experience in this or could shed some advice? Thank you
