So here is the problem. I am currently a categorical PGY1 at one hospital and want to switch to another program in a nearby city. I just have got to know the program that I am in, and the academics, lectures, attendings, and administration are just horrible. It is a private hospital and very influenced by the attendings. I dont know how to even start looking at other programs that potentially have a PGY2 spot open? Could I even break my contract or do interns just have one year contracts? Could i call other programs and ask them if they have open spots? So lost?!?
help...
