If I accepted an internship through the scramble over the phone, would you also get black listed if you call again and back out? I am having MASSIVE regrets!!

The Withdrawal Regulations on the website say this: “If a program was filled outside the VIRMP, the institution/private practice must provide the VIRMP with the name of the person to whom the position was offered. The VIRMP Director, in consultation with the AAVC Executive Committee, will determine if the reason for withdrawal is acceptable. If the reason for withdrawal is deemed acceptable, no sanction will be imposed.” which suggests to me that yes, the three year ban would likely be in effect because I don’t think general regrets would be considered acceptable. But I don’t know that for certain, that’s just how I interpret the website.

If you failed to match, the VIRMP terms of agreement no longer apply. Accepting a position through the scramble is outside the purview of VIRMP; that's handled directly between you and the program. In other words, this is a standard employment contract issue. Any legal repercussions would depend on specific details.

What I would do is contact the program director and discuss your reservations honestly and professionally. Speaking as a program director, the last thing I want is an intern who doesn't want to be here.

I matched to Auburn SA Rotating. Does anyone know anyone there for housing purposes? It was not my first choice, kind of bummed about that-- but happy for the opportunity!

I didn't match. Not saying I am not disappointed, but also kind of expected. I will apply for other residencies in Europe. Congratulations to everyone who has matched and good luck to everyone who is working on a plan B!
