Hi Great Pumpkin and other path residents:
I will not be able to go through the match this year. It will probably be possible for me to scramble into an IM or FP position in south west or west coast as I have some geographic constrains, but I doubt path residencies there will be scrambling. My question is: if I do a general internship - will it hurt me in getting into a path program year after next? Will the funding be messed up if I've now started in a 3 year residency and then try to start path a 4 year residency. It used to be that people were encouraged to get a clinical year but now with path being "just" four years I'm not sure how a clin year will effect my chances. Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
