Cancelling aways short notice if you decided not to do the specialty anymore
I haven't been able to find much discussion about this from previous application cycles. After a lot of consideration, I've decided that I no longer want to pursue the surgical specialty I had originally planned on applying into. I'm currently doing away rotations and am seriously considering canceling my remaining rotations, returning to my home institution, and trying to obtain a letter for a different specialty in time for ERAS.
My question is whether politely canceling these rotations at this stage is likely to completely burn bridges with those programs. I realize I need to do what's necessary to submit the strongest application possible, but I'm wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation or has advice about things I should be considering before making this decision.
