Can anyone tell me the difference between Post Match Scramble program and PGYS? Does it apply same to IMGs?
I need a detail explanation, but easy to understand.
Thank you.
PGY = Post Graduate Year. It refers to the year in training you are, ie., if you are in your 3rd year of residency, you are a PGY-3.
The Scramble is a short period of time following the regular match in which participating individuals are supplied a list of programs with open positions in an attempt to obtain one of those spots. You can read more about it at: http://www.nrmp.org
1. When you say, 'The Scramble is a short period of time following the
regular match in which participating individuals are supplied a list of
programs with open positions in an attempt to obtain one of those spots.'
is it some kind of period after you match the Residency?
2. What do you do during that Scramble Period?
3. Is going through that Scramble period mandatory?
or is it optional?
4. Then let's say, if IMGs trying to apply for Residency and couldn't find any spots available for them and still looking for Residency Matching Spots, what do you call that period of time?
(It's before they're matched to Residency.)
5. Can anyone tell me if you know any of Residency Matching Spots available at any hospitals in U.S. specifically near N.Y. area, can you list them for me?
Depends. If it is in the two days after the match is over, then that period is called the scramble. After that, there is no official name for it. Bear in mind "matching" implies that you used the NRMP or other match service to obtain a position. Simply getting a position, whether in the scramble or outside of the match, does not mean you have "matched".
