How to find open residency spots

Residency spots open up all the time. People drop out. People move. People switch programs. If you didn't match into a residency this year, you might still have a chance at post-graduate training by jumping into a residency during the fall or spring.

If you're looking for an open residency spot, here are some helpful resources:

http://www.openspots.com (website might be down)

You can also find discussions about open spots on these forums:
