someoneelse Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Does anyone know what the process would be like for someone hoping to redo residency in a different specialty in the States? Would the applicant just apply through the US match during their final year of residency and complete their USMLES? Do people get any credit for previous training and is it very difficult for people to get a visa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't they prefer Canadians over IMGs from other places? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Edict meant from the perspective that doing two residencies period sounds less than ideal, regardless of whether it’s in the US or not. Probably better to try and transfer into what you actually want in Canada and just do it once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the Canadian system is not very forgiving and in most cases doesnt allow for transfers or switch of specialties after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
