Other Institutions which will/will not hire residents outside of their Initial Residency Period (IRP)

[EMThrowaway2020]

In my residency transfer process, the IRP has been a huge thorn in my side. If you're not familiar with the IRP: The funding a residency receives from CMS for a given resident is limited. After your IRP (which is 3-5 years, depending on speciality) your hospital will only receive half as much reimbursement for you.

Some institutions will not take residents outside of their IRP (e.g: The HCA programs). I have been unable to find a definitive list of which programs these are. Does anyone have firsthand information about specific programs?



(Hope this is the right forum!)

I've never found a list. I think you have to individually email programs of interest to confirm their policies and your eligibility for their program
