stayblessed Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 Another follow-up Q if you guys don't mind. Does the overlap between the speciality you are considering transferring from to the one you are transferring to play a role in the success rate of the transfer? For example, if your residency has little overlap with PGY-1 of the transfer program, can that work against you? Assuming funding is for 5 years.

shikimate Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 not necessarily, I know one person who transferred form a small surgical program into IM. But I imagine this will be university specific and up to the PDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's theoretically possible, but less likely than the reverse for the reasons previously mentioned in this thread. The process is the same.
