Transferring Residency Questions

[StarFruitJelly]

Hello Everyone

I'm an IM intern in an osteopathic residency looking to transfer into an ACGME program.

If I get accepted to the new program are there any restrictions to transfer? Will it be a match violation?
- I scrambled into an AOA program.

You would have to reapply for a new residency spot...but if you had to scramble into an AOA spot, what would make you competitive for an ACGME spot?

It is not a match violation.

The risk is not getting accepted and your current place dropping you

Agreed, I believe you would have to get the permission from your current program director and all the side effects that would entail.
