Hi everyone, after a lot of soul searching I have realized that I want to be an oncologist. Has anyone switched from a psychiatry residency to an IM residency? What was the process like and how difficult was it to switch? My psychiatry program is an academic program and I have decent stats, step 1: 240+ step 2: 260+. My concern is that I really want to go into a heme onc fellowship. Does switching specialties in residency destroy my chances at an IM fellowship? I'm guessing a big factor will be if I can transfer into an academic program vs a community program. Ideally I would love to do an internal switch into my institutions IM program.
