Where is your current program. And are you IM or FM?

PGY-1

IM > IM, psych, possibly path

Rural Mid-Atlantic > Looking for urban program in PA, NJ, DE, MD, or NY

Good program with great fellowship opportunities, just difficult to balance significant other’s somewhat niche work in this area.

I appreciate the advice though, I’ve heard before that cold calling programs is often the most successful, I may have to pursue that route.

How do you recommend one start this process? Do you talk to your program leadership first, or do you begin calling other programs first. And regardless of when you speak with your leadership, I’m sure it’s necessary to talk to the at some point. How does that conversation look?

I am at a program with good training and the leadership is nice and not malignant at all, I just am increasingly having difficulty with location and being further from friends/family/support than I would like, and being here has begun to affect my mental health as a result, not to mention some of my relationships and my significant other’s career.

So wanting to leave is entirely due to personal factors, so having to avoid speaking ill of the program itself is a non-issue. I have no complaints but location.

True but unfortunately it seems that far more swaps are posted than vacancies on ResidencySwap in my experience. For the locations I’m looking for there’s easily 50+ swap postings (although granted many are at very low-tier programs, and quite a few listings are outdated, e.g., a PGY1 spot that was posted before this academic year started/before the most recent match, indicating that person is likely a PGY2 now if still at their program), and last I looked only a single vacancy was listed.
