<p>I should qualify that…you could do finish a transitional year program in Internal medicine, to fulfill the Post Grad training in those states which only require 1 year, but I don’t see the utility in doing only that. You wouldn’t be eligible for board certification without completing an ACGME approved training path, so I’m not sure it’s worthwhile. Many of the listings I see in the back of JAMA for positions (granted a small snapshot of available jobs) want “board eligible” physicians.</p>
