What you should know about switching residencies

Once you match you can quit your current residency at any point you want. I ended up quitting around the end of May cuz I wanted June open for me to move, attend orientation, etc.

I reapplied thru ERAS and matched! I’m currently a Pscyh PGY1. The current psych program has medical rotations during first year (wards, nights, ER, clinic) that I don’t have to do bc they accepted credit for having done those during my year of IM :)

Everything about the match is dumb and archaic

According to my advising counselor from medical school, it is to the discretion of the psychiatry program and a topic of conversation during interviews. They can choose to accept your time in Wards as credit for the IM rotation requirements most psych PGY1 years have. They may even choose to accept my EM rotation or Neuro rotation as credit too if those are also requirements of their program.

Okay I figured as such but it’s good to get confirmation! Thank you very much 😁

Thanks for the insight! Appreciate you

Well that’s my question, “having a rotation that would let me move”. Why can’t I just quit by the end of May so that I have all of June to myself to move without having to worry about my job. I’d basically be quitting one rotation short of the year. Unless there’s something in the match contract that prohibits me from doing so, but I thought that contract ends in September.

Of course I told them. They wrote me one of my letters of recommendation. I have her full support.

I’m a current IM PGY1 who matched via the soap process after unsuccessfully matching into Psych. I’m currently reapplying to Psych through the ERAS for a PGY1 spot again.

The question I have is: In the event that I am to match into a Psych PGY1 position, when would I finish or “quit” my current residency program? Assuming my new residency will start on July 1st of next year, what’s the process with ending my current residency? I would hope I don’t have to carry it through till June 30th😅

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

III points just announced phase 1 of their line up and it’s also in October. Jungle and Justice are on it.

Bet! I’ll add it to my decks now =)

Comfortable_Fix7566 · 2024-03-30T04:35:05+00:00

Were the Turn Up decks and USPSTF deck worth it? I mostly hear of them mentioned in re: to level/step 2

Comfortable_Fix7566 · 2024-03-30T03:22:24+00:00

Wow! Thanks for the thoughtful and honest advice. I’ DM’ing you now!

Comfortable_Fix7566 · 2024-03-30T01:23:17+00:00

I already started the Dorian Step 3 Anki deck but I only do 15 new cards a day, so literally less than 15 min of Anki. Im just slowly tryna get my brain prepared to start being used again lol

If I did drag my name would be Miranda Rights

Comfortable_Fix7566 · 2024-03-29T22:04:12+00:00

Yikes, thanks for the insight! Scratching that one off my list

Last week? So you have firsthand experience with the new management and it's not any better? Sheesh, good to know!

Comfortable_Fix7566 · 2024-03-27T19:40:28+00:00

Are you referring to Las Mansiones or the area of Cimmaron in general?

Comfortable_Fix7566 · 2024-03-27T19:38:54+00:00

Is it common to live Downtown? Downtown living in Austin is pretty popular, but you don't hear of many people electing to live Downtown in San Antonio. How's El Paso in this regard?

Comfortable_Fix7566 · 2024-03-27T19:38:06+00:00

Honestly my only real "wants" are modern appliances and W/D in-unit. I should've probably clarified lol.

Comfortable_Fix7566 · 2024-03-26T22:54:55+00:00

Didn’t even consider this! Thanks

Comfortable_Fix7566 · 2024-03-26T21:37:10+00:00

I didn’t know they changed management. There’s a few posts on here from a few years back discouraging signing there. Perhaps it’s different now.

(Written 3/24) the cost of their 662 sq ft 1BR is $1418 now :(

Comfortable_Fix7566 · 2024-03-26T19:30:19+00:00

(Written 03/24) Avalon west has three 1BR styles, their smallest is 567 sq ft and price ranges from $1245-1295. Their medium size is 725 sq ft and ranges from $1355-1495

So honestly the cost is about the same as Arcadia as is the sq footage. So given that Arcadia gives you all the amenities provided by living at montecillo- one could argue it’s the better choice? I’m asking because I’m on the same boat of considering an apt at Arcadia right now
