I think you would be able to start from PGY2/CA1. I'm not sure how easy it would be 4 u. There are other posts out there about how to get started (i.e. go through match or finding outside the match positions).

I'll take you seriously.
I started out in FM. Internship then 5 years in the Navy practicing primary care/flight surgeon.
Applied out of match directly to programs I was interested in. Received many invites to interview. I found that many were interested in my military background.
Did NOT have to repeat internship....this is a waste of your time.
Started CA-1 in 2005, just about to finish and start a CCM fellowship. It was THE best decision to leave primary care and go into anesthesia, as I love my job!

how much trouble you have may depend on how many years of fp residency you have done. if your total residency time is greater than 4 or 5 years, not sure which, the government will not reimburse the residency program for your salary which means the program will have to pay out of pocket. call everywhere you would want to go and apply. i don't blame you for wanting out of fp and anes is the best...good luck
