I am a FMG currently taking my steps. I am interested in IM residency and then Hem/Onc fellowship. I saw that several programs are asking for 1 year USCE for FMGs.
I found that many surgery prelim positions go unfilled whereas IM prelims are quite competitive. So I was wondering if I can do 1 year surgery prelim and with that USCE apply next year for IM residency?
Is there anything wrong with this plan?
How would IM PDs feel about a candidate doing surgery prelim applying for IM residency, when his whole CV is oriented towards IM?
Also would it be possible at all to land a prelim surg with an IM oriented profile?
