There are a number of spots (I believe 5?) in neuro on residentswap.org that are shown as available.

Thanks for sharing your what you found. Many of the spots in residentswap are filled ALREADY by the time we contact them. The posting just stays longer. Some don't reply if they are filled. The programs may be starting to recruit on their own and use these online resources as a back up.
So I am wondering if you all know of alternative ways of finding out of match spots

 

[thunderbirdd]

you can do the old fashion way and call one program at a time and check them off as you go and go through the entire list of programs out there

 

[sinusoid]

But the practicality is that you need to keep on doing this because a program may not have a spot when I call them and may have one open up a few weeks later !
Sounds like there is no one easy way.....would like to know what someone has done successfully in the past, to find out of match PGY2 spots in advanced programs.

totally agree with sinusoid - programs seem to already have multiple other avenues to try and recruit for an out of match advanced/unexpected spot as even though we send application materials almost the same day as the posting is seen online, the program has either already filled or interviewing within 2 days.

it would really help if someone who has successfuly got one of these spots to help others know their method of applying etc...

Sinusoid - one question - how do you send the LORs to any open spot? Do you have copies of LORs that you send to the program directly or actually request some of your previous attendings to mail out the letter to the program directly?

thanks for any help and Good luck!

Cleop76:
Yes, I think all the advanced position seekers would benefit/ help each other if folks can share successful experiences of obtaining out of match spots.
About letters: I think the program would tell you how to send the documents, some had mentioned ERAS.
Good luck !
