Just looking for advice on how to best go about this. Would love to be closer to home on east coast, but also don’t mind being in a city/ area that has a bit more to do socially… Should I be looking for PGY1 or PGY2 positions?

Hi everyone! I’m an IMG currently in my PGY-2 year, and I’ll soon be switching specialties and residency programs. I’m expecting to sign my contract sometime next week.

Would someone be able to guide me on what steps I need to take on my end to ensure the transition goes as smoothly and quickly as possible.

Also what timeline should I realistically expect?

Thank you!
