At the risk of inciting another job market flame war....
How early is too early in your residency to start reaching out to establish relationships and get your foot in the door towards first attending job?
Leaning heavily towards rural private practice in midwest or south FWIW. Am only an intern currently so obviously don't even have a good understanding of this field nor what makes for a good job, but with the current climate just want to get an idea of when to start that process. I understand for academics, usual timeline PGY4 and many interviews are done at ASTRO during PGY-5, but was curious if its much different for private practice. Would rather be proactive than reactive. Anybody had success establishing PP connections as a PGY-2/3?
