Hello everyone,
I am a former PGY-2 pathology resident (completed second year). I was discharged from the program last year due to my lack of progression within the program. I put down the time to studying and getting help, but ultimately that was not enough. I am currently still in good standing with the program director and my pathology attendings. I know I can receive good LORs from them. Since then I have been doing pro-bono consulting work in graduate consulting programs. Upon reflection, I still miss clinical medicine, especially the patient interaction, management and treatment.
I have been applying for some medical assistant positions and volunteering positions at free clinics to try and strengthen my clinical skills, however I haven't had much success. I want to apply for family residency this September. Any advice or suggestions on making this transition into Family Medicine residency is greatly appreciated.
Thank you all!
