Hi guys,
I am searching for pm&r residency programs and I see that some of them offer you the first preliminary year(categorical programs) while others do not(advanced programs). My question is: can I apply to the programs that offer only the advanced positions only and look for a preliminary year in other place or all of those programs already require you to have the preliminary year(and you start the program as pgy-2 in July 2012)? it is pretty confusing
Thanks!
