I want to know,if doing prelim IM can help me get a categorical position later on? Are there PGY2 openings in IM? I want to apply again in cat IM,so will this be better than doing obshps etc?

doing a prelim year should help you in all ways because you are getting US clinical experience, however I am pretty sure that scoring a prelim spot in IM is way more difficult than actually getting the categorical. I'd just apply directly for categorical
hope this helps

Is it like,if you do a prelimin year you cannot apply for a categorical position PGY1 again next year?
