Scramble plan

[ketafol]

Does anyone have a scramble plan? Im sure their wont be may spots to scramble into for anesthesia at least. I did not apply for any prelims, since I can scramble easily into an osteopathic internship.

Would is the best thing to do? Scramble for a prelim med, reapply next year?

I heard that you can scramble for a internal med residency, but since it is only three years, if you end up transferring over to anesthesia, you will be one year unfunded. Is this true?

Does anyone have a plan?

I'm burying my head in the sand Sunday evening, March 11th. In this sand hole I will have two straws- one leading above ground for air, one into a large water tank.

I'll reemerge on the eve of March 15.

Better make sure you have a cap on that straw with the water tank..or you'll either be really wet or won't make it till the 15th

Good call.

But seriously, in response to ketafol's post ... I have no back up plans. But if I didn't match, I would probably do my preliminary year to get it over with. Then go from there..

Good luck!

I'm just burying my HEAD under the sand, guys. I'll work on a valve for the H2O.

And I would probably do a Prelim year, then hope for the best.

If I go unmatched I'm going to go back to school and get an MBA. Then I'm going to get a job with an insurance company so I can be a billionaire while laughing as the goverment looks to cut everyones salary but mine.

Either that, or I'm gonna be a porn star.

In response to the initial post. Anesthesia is full of people who completed part or entire residencies before coming to anesthesia. I completed residency training in another specialty before I started my anesthesia training.
