Is it possible and how bad would it be to change residency after PGY1?
It's not overly difficult; I've heard of multiple individuals making transfers. Just ensure that your logs are endorsed by PD before formally informing, as they might react negatively and withhold approval of the logs. In general, no employer will be pleased that you're leaving “transferring”. Several programs/hospitals use resident as very cheap labor, why would they be happy you left ? Ultimately, prioritize your training and do what benefits you and your future patients the most. Transfer for a better programs, that’s it.Is it possible and how bad would it be to change residency after PGY1?
