Hello all,
I'm writing this post to hopefully get a better idea of my situation and what possible outcomes are available to me. The situation did not play out optimally, but I need some constructive criticism.
I was previously an anesthesiology resident with about 3 years of training. I have passed all 3 of my step exams and passed my 1st anesthesia board exam (now taken after CA-1 year). I had a probation period during the latter part of my CA-2 year, but improved and ended the probation period at the beginning of my CA-3. Ultimately though, it was not a great field for me and I felt I had to resign. After some time to think about what to aim for next, I attempted to apply to different specialty but with not much success because of the timing of the ERAS application period.
At this point, I am in the process of getting my M.D. in general practice in the state I currently reside. This way I can look for opportunities to keep up my clinical experience by doing insurance physicals.
If anyone has experienced a similar situation, I need to know whether reentering a residency such as PM&R, IM, or neurology is still possible? or has my record essentially been blacklisted? Or does anyone know who would hold that type of information?
I appreciate everyone's time.
