Hello everyone, I am currently an MS3 at a mid tier MD program in the South Atlantic. However, I am initially from Texas (lived there for 17 years before med school and did my undergrad and grad school there. all my family is there as well). I came to South Atlantic to try something new, but I want to go back to Texas for Internal Medicine residency due to my family and want to stay there long term. How hard would it be to match back to an IM academic program in Texas?

Not very difficult. There are many programs to apply to

... and they definitely prefer people with TX roots.

Given that you get 15 signals for IM (12 silver, 3 gold), do you think signaling 9 academic Texas programs would be adequate (3 gold, 6 silvers)?
