Incoming intern, is the midlevel situation really that bad from a job-security perspective?

.. and how much of an impact will this have on the job market? If you could include some salary numbers to paint a better picture that would be great because I do not know.

IMG Psych Resident

Always loved derm. (perhaps TMI but in part due to growing up with severe acne).

27x Step 2, 30+ research items in Psych (one with a derm-psych outcome). Of late feeling the urge to switch to derm. Are there any open spots/programs that may consider me? I do really like psych, but I know I love derm just a little bit more. My dream practice would be one where I blend the two disciplines in some shape or form.

Should I dare to dream and work towards a second residency in derm instead of a fellowship? Is there even a shot? Has anyone ever seen anyone do this.

No home program in derm. Academic program. Need a visa.

Been reading through the sub, and it appears most of the grind comes from doing locums to make money / supplementary private practice.

My understanding is that if you’re on a visa, these options are not available to you. How are IMG psychiatrists on visas maximising income?
