Rotation Got Canceled, need some last min help if possible

[OMS2016!]

Hello Everyone,

I apologize for posting this, I preferably like to solve as many problems as I can myself but this is outside of my control, and I'm frustrated I can't fix it. To start off I would like to say that I am a DO, planning on applying for AOA EM residencies in this coming match cycle. I recently had an audition rotation canceled (program closing, decided not to take any new residents this year) and now I'm up a creek. My rotation was scheduled to start Sept 21st and end 4 weeks later on October 16th/17th. I have been calling around and emailing programs trying to get a rotation spot to fill it with but haven't had any luck. I was hoping that someone on here had any ideas or could point me in the right direction/help me out.


I know everyone here is extremely busy, and I don't want to bother you, but im starting to get worried that I will end up wasting this rotation slot. Any help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all very much!

Keep making phone calls and sending emails. At this point that's about all you can do.

I just went through this and after a dozen or more emails and phone calls finally found a program. Be honest about why you need a spot and don't give any one program more than half a day to get back to you before contacting another. They will understand you are talking to as many as possible. I don't think the program that took me really had room for one more person but they were willing to work with me under the circumstances.

Thanks for the words of support, I actually just got a call back and managed to find a program that had one slot open for when i needed. After enough emails and phone calls it did pay off! Thanks guys!
