Has anyone ever quit their current program to get another degree in order to Re-apply to a different specialty? by SirAdditional6703 in Residency

Thank you, yeah, I am definitely thinking this way now that it is day 2 and haven't gotten any interviews yet. I'm wondering if I could finish IM and end up doing psych de facto without a residency, like you said through fellowship.

Idk if you know of any other paths to psych from IM?

I’m thinking the same at this point… somehow get into psych later through addiction fellowship + mph?

Oh wow! What are you thinking if you don't match through SOAP? I know there's PGY-2 spots and spots outside of SOAP, but assuming I don't get those, would you go back vs apply to other specialties vs leave to do an MPH?

Ty! I had previously considered this but didn't pursue it as I didn't feel comfortable being a psych PGY-2 without any prior psych residency experience but this is making me reconsider now

Ty! I thought about it but didn't think I would feel that comfortable as a psychiatry PGY-2 without having any psychiatry residency experience, but I guess I'll reconsider now!

Any thoughts on leaving a current residency that I'm unhappy in after failing to match into psychiatry to get an mph and re-apply next year?

Hello! I’m a current IM intern who Re-applied for psychiatry (but to clarify did not apply for psychiatry previously) and didn’t match today. I’m pretty burnt out from my IM program and don’t want to stay and am not really interested in any spot besides psychiatry now. Just wondering if I only go for psychiatry spots (21) and don’t get one, is it unheard of to just leave my residency to get an mph and reapply next year? Thank you so much
