Upper Level OMFS Resident opportunity wanted. Trying to complete training at a different program.

[bimmer]

I withdrew in good standing from my residency (have supporting documentation) to pursue and complete my training at a different program. I have my MD & general surgery internship certificate with 5+ months of anesthesia and 30+ months of OMFS training.

Trying to find a program that would accept a resident for the last 1-2 years of training, so any PGY-3 (3/4 or 5/6) or higher spot would be of interest.

Please DM with any possible leads or contacts. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you

Why would anyone do this......
No matter how bad the program is... it is SURELY better than being a dentist in the event you aren't able to find a program...

What I have learned in graduate medical education is this: Head down, mouth shut, be a gray man, take abuse, graduate and make your money. As screwed up as that is, I do not think it will ever change.

I think Indiana University had a resident leave and one of the years is short a resident.

I believe UPenn is down a resident at the senior level. They went to Anesthesia after getting MD

Lol would they have to start at PGY1 all over again?

Let me know. I think in Indiana it's a soon-to-be third year spot.

They said no position at this time, we'll see if anything changes in the future.

Minnesota posted a thread a few months ago looking for a new resident because they opened up a new pgy3 spot

This is the second time I’ve heard of something like this happening. Someone else started general surgery residency after getting his MD

Gen surg was the toughest rotation i had to do. Surprised someone wanted to do that when they could have become omfs.

If anyone hears of anything please let me know. Thanks to all who have helped out so far.

At this point I would consider starting at PGY-1 at a 4 year program if they would consider a non-traditional, outside of PASS applicant

Doesn't some program have an open spot because a resident got booted for drugs?

You may be thinking of NOLA, they were a 6th year with a couple months left.

Could you re-enter the match?

 

[gryffindor]

Sorry you're in this predicament. A long time ago, there was a program that lost a resident from the 6 year track early on. They later took a resident into a 4 year track to make up for the loss of the original 6 year resident. I don't think the 4 year track otherwise existed at this 6 year program. Just throwing this out there in case it's a possibility somewhere for you.

I may have to

I have heard Cincinnati is down a PGY-1 spot, maybe reach out to them. They are a 4 year program.
