I know that I'm asking a lot. I unfortunately matched into a great categorical IM program. I wanted a categorical surgery spot in gen surgery. I applied and had a really rough interview season with getting COVID-19, technical issues, just overall I felt awful. I had plenty of interviews, just didn't match. I wanted to apply to thoracic or CT surgery, but I did not do to competitiveness of integrated programs. My stats are ok for any of the above specialties.
IF there is ANY chance anyone with a categorical PGY1 spot in any of those specialties finds out it's not for them or just wants to swap, please reach out. The categorical IM program I just matched is in a WONDERFUL location and residents matched into extremely competitive fellowships.
I know there are procedural options in IM, but I have personal reasons for choosing surgery.
