Is it possible like, getting into a full residency program unpaid i.e without a match? (with good usmle 1&2 scores + step3) I am a US citizen IMG, and planning to do radiology. I am not rich, but I have a private sponsor. If yes, what will the department take in consideration, terms....etc. What are the advantages/disadvantages from this residency? And does this apply on the fellowship too?
Technically, this is an RRC violation, designed to prevent resident abuse. See this thread (and do a search for others as this gets asked time to time): http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=471972&highlight=unpaid+residency
Good post by Winged Scapula above. Basically this is discouraged because you're basically trying to "buy" your way into a spot that doesn't yet exist. It's almost like a bribe.
