what is the chance of completing to catecorical surgery of even orthopedics after the preliminary year
i really donot have to much experince and all the experince i got from u guys
thnx in advance

hey lifesaver,you said you like surgery ,so let us keep discussion on surgery,see man if you are lucky and get prelim in kentucky university,it will open many chances for you next year and gurantee you a catogorical position in general surgery or you even can try for orthopedic next year because at that time u will have one year of prelim in excellent univeristy program and as you know all ortho programs need one year prelim,so if you will do that ,for sure you will gurantee ortho next year,any way wait for other opnions and GL

lifey
its your call man. what ever comes out of this, nobody can predict the end. so analyse the situation make a decision. if surgery is all that you want i dont know what you will draw out of doing IM? sincerely thats my take on it. that said, its not gonna be easy to change to pgy2 from a preliminary position. but then this whole match thing is not a cake walk. we all taking chances baby.
