Most people informally talk with the anesthesiology PD first about the fact that you are considering switching to anesthesiology and wanting to " get his advice". He may be able to give you some insight as to whether there might hypothetically be a place for you there or not. Or he could give you a heads up that you are totally not going to be considered a good fit, etc. Would be good to explore that before you talked to your PD or you can end up quickly in a bad position. Until you do that, all of the timing issues are pretty irrelevant.
