Hello Everyone,

I have some questions about transferring between residency programs and was hoping that the board may be able to offer some insight. I just began as a PGY-1 this July in a categorial anesthesia program. However, this is not the program I thought I would end up at; unfortunately the program is located somewhere my wife cannot continue her graduate work and I would ideally like to transfer to another program. As of now the situation is causing my wife and i to have to live 1000 miles apart. I have noticed that some programs are already listing out of match positions for ca-1 2010 positions. What is the protocol for applying to such positions? Do I need to discuss this with my PD already? I would ideally like to start these discussions with my PD if I have a good chance of landing one of these spots rather than now since I dont want to burn the bridge on this end where I already have a secure spot. I would greatly appreciate any advice everyone could offer! Thanks in advance.
