There's a local residency program in the field I'm interested in that I'm doing research at. Things are going great, I'm working with the residents, getting a couple contacts, everything's peachy.
I decide to shoot their education department an e-mail asking a couple questions about their residency. The residency PD, whom I've never met, replies back and is very kind over e-mail. We set an appointment for me to give him a call (not an in-person meeting).
Somehow, I miss the appointment. Missed a reminder I set for it, too. 5 days after the appointment, I realize this, and e-mail the secretary apologizing. I tell her that I appreciate their time but don't need to bother them for a re-schedule.
I'm hoping to wait this out and hope the PD and secretary forget about me, since I have a good 6-8 months before I'd even apply for an audition rotation there. The e-mail I used had my full name, but I only used my first name in the e-mails. Here's what I'd love from you guys experienced with anything like this:
-Am I ok? I'd really love to have this program on the table for me...
-When I get in touch again, should I not talk about it at all, or should I address it somehow?
-Any similar stories/anecdotes?
