Residents are considered as transferring residents under several conditions which include: when moving from one program to another within the same or different sponsoring institution; when entering a PGY2 program requiring a preliminary year, even if the resident was simultaneously accepted into the prelim PGY1 program and the PGY2 program as part of the match (., accepted to both programs right out of medical school). Before accepting a transferring resident, the “receiving” program director must obtain written or electronic verification of prior education from the current program director. Verification includes evaluations, rotations completed, procedural/operative experience, and a summative competency-based.
