(i posted this in another subforum, but i think it should belong here)
not sure where else to post this, as I'm entering my fourth year of medical school. some of the programs I want to apply to require 1 year of post graduate training in a residency program.
for example, the preventive medicine residency in texas requires at least 1 post graduate year, and at least 6 months of clinical training.
Does this mean, I have to apply to any residency of my choice and then bail after the first year to apply to the preventive medicine program?
if that is the case, i'm thinking of going into family medicine residency, and after one year, switching.
however, i'm sure that the family residency interviewer wouldn't like this. but how else can i get experience for 1 year residency, without having to 'bail' on a program after the effort they put into choosing applicants.
thanks for any information on this, i'm a little confused.
