I am an IMG and got matched into FM this year. I wanted to know if it is possible for me to apply for IM this year? Wouldn't it be considered a breach in the residency contract that we sign?
I believe changing your mind about what residency you want to do is one of those things that will get you a Match waiver from the NRMP, so you could probably apply to IM without penalty.
OTOH, your FM program will need to know that you are applying again (the IM programs will need at least a letter from your FM program stating that you are in good standing), so don't count on having a job in 2014 if you don't match this time around. Just something to consider.
This is incorrect actually.
