Hello SDN residents.
I am currently a PGY 1-->2 at a family medicine program in the Western US. It has not been a good fit from the start (my poor multi-tasking skills, toxic learning culture, multiple issues with housing/floods, dog getting cancer, etc). Unfortunately I have not passed my two pediatric rotations. I am now at risk of possible contract non-renewal if I don't pass my current 2 month remediation. I am seeking to find employment options elsewhere as a backup plan should I not be offered continued employment. I would be happy with another FM residency that is less toxic and/or closer to family (which has become important to me) or a switch to Internal Medicine (which is my favorite and most proficient aspect of my FM training so far).
The basic summary of my status is: "Has made immense progress, is extremely hard working, is loved by patients and staff but there still remain some questions as to his ability to confidently juggle the multi-tasking duties of a 2nd year on large volume, multi service/cross coverage in the hospital".
My ITE scores are the highest in my intern class, and my Step 3 was one of the highest in my class as well. I am smart, extremely hard working and dedicated to becoming a great patient-centered doctor. My weakness is in multi-tasking. I am simply not a natural multi-tasker and my program is very "active", with cross coverage across 3-4 different services being the norm. Also My 3rd and 4th year training was weak and I started behind my intern-classmates.
Can you help? Is anyone willing to assist me one-on one with writing a proper cover letter to prospective residencies? Without sounding too desperate, I am more than willing to pay for assistance.
Thank you. I look forward to hearing back from you soon. Please ask any questions that may help further clarify my situation and/or request.
