Hi everyone,
Wondering if I would have the possibility of switching into anesthesia from an emergency medicine categorical position. Today I soaped into an emergency medicine program. I initially applied to Orthopedics but went unmatched despite a great and strong application (260 step 2, 10+ pubs, great LORs, etc etc).
I was honestly shocked to find out that I didn’t match as I had been told by multiple programs that I was ranked to match. Unfortunately that’s just the name of the game. I then decided to pivot into EM but since I was in such a state of shock, I didn’t give it much thought whether this is something I want to do or not. Now I’m locked in. Wondering if I would be able to pivot into anesthesia after my PGY1 year
Thanks everyone for your input!
**By the way, I realize that my PGY1 em year may not count, I'm totally okay with that, I'm just trying to switch I don't mind what it takes to get there. And I did rotate in anesthesia multiple times 2nd/3rd year, I have a couple letters and a couple mentors, I do have a strong interest.
