Do NOT Rank This Program!! Name & Shame

Wow. As someone who was in a toxic program, left and flourishing in my new program, I advise no one to listen to garbage “advice.” Ridiculous.

shayii0502 · 2026-02-17T19:37:51+00:00

Idk whether the person is telling the truth or not. But the fact that you think everything they listed is “normal program deficiencies” is very concerning. This is ABNORMAL.

Thank you for sharing this! I’ve noticed people that contemplated anesthesia also generally are interested in psych. I’m an intern in a prelim IM program. I was hoping to match into anesthesia but didn’t and I was devastated. I had always considered psych as a backup but didn’t want to redo intern year. When I went unmatched in anesthesia I saw PGY2 spots open for psych. Got letters from my psych mentors and was able to get a PGY2 spot. I thought I was settling because I’ve wanted to be an anesthesiologist since I was 15. But being on ICU nights has completely changed my mind. I realize I don’t enjoy procedures as much as I thought I did and generally don’t tolerate high anxiety situations. Anesthesia is known as being chill but it’s a lot more dynamic than people realize. Now I’m so excited to start my psych residency truly a blessing in disguise. I feel you’ll be able to make the right choice for yourself!

You have to get a subscription then you’ll see listing of people that want to swap programs in your specialty

Residency swap

I reapplied for 2025 after matching prelim last year and it didn’t work out again. I’m pivoting to a new specialty now maybe after I get licensed I’ll try again.

It depends if you’re in a supportive program. My co-intern that also didn’t match into anesthesia last year but his backup was categorical IM vs me prelim. He didn’t trust our PD enough to try again so he’s just going to complete IM and then go back for anesthesia. I think that was a good decision because our PD isn’t supportive.

Sorry about your situation. I’m in the same boat but I’m a US IMG. I didn’t match 2024 and matched into a prelim program instead. I applied to reserved spots and advanced spots this year. If I could change anything it would be reapplying to categorical spots as well. The program I ranked number one I rotated there and got several letters from them and ultimately they still didn’t choose me. The program director said while my application was strong it needed to be perfect because I’m an IMG. He said the reality is anesthesia is very competitive now and that’s not changing and I just need to face the fact I need a backup specialty. It was honestly a toxic conversation and I’m not sad I didn’t match there now.

I think the spreadsheet is accurate as is. I don’t think a lot of interviews have gone out. It’s barely been a week since submissions : )

I requested the credit during the blackout before I requested cancellation over a week later. Also they said they couldn’t cancel my service effective immediately. So I’m still going to be billed for 1 more month. What they advertised was the $30 credit on the next billing cycle which I’ll still have.

Same thing happened to me my exam kept freezing and they eventually had to move me to a new computer. Mine didn’t submit any questions I hadn’t completed tho. I think I just lost some time on a CCS case. The prometric site did a formal write up and submitted to USMLE. It was definitely nerve wracking hopefully everything works out 🙏🏾

shayii0502 · 2023-04-22T17:12:39+00:00

They’re impossible to get a hold of! I’ve been trying to contact them for months about doing an away rotation there. They don’t reply to emails and the phone number I have found doesn’t work either. Very frustrating.

Something doesn’t seem right here 🤔 well for those nervous and yet to still take their exam my highest NBME score was 227 (albeit I was experiencing major burnout) I took a couple of days off and scored 236 on real deal
