I’ve spent a lot of time researching about advanced, categorical, transitional, difficulty of each, how hard it is to get into transtitional....
I have heard very little about how are your PGY-1 year in a categorical PMR program, or if it’s the same or different than a prelim medicine year, but just built into your program so you don’t have to move after the year.
I would assume your PGY-1 at a categorical program would be not as tough in terms of hours because they probably don’t want to abuse you knowing you are still their resident, but I’ve just never heard anyone talk about it.
Can anyone shed insight on the rigors if PGY-1 At a categorical program vs prelim medicine year?
