Sorry if this is not an appropriate place to post. I am a USMD who dual applied pathology and a clinical specialty, ended up matching in the other specialty. I've been looking daily since match day for pathology vacancies online or someone wanting to switch out, without any luck.

Now that the year has begun, I wanted to know if any of you knew of instances where a vacancy opened and was filled mid-year. I'm planning on reapplying the match this fall if no other opportunity comes up.

Sorry if this is not the appropriate place for this post. I’m an incoming PGY1 in psych, usmd, and for reasons I won’t belabor, I have realized I don’t want to be in this field. I’d like to switch into path, neuro, IM, peds, etc pretty open to any other specialty. Is it possible to switch into a vacancy after the 45 day period, or am I stuck with doing the entire intern year?

thanks.
