Interested to know the answer. The program director's parting words are: "I made you sign the contract thinking you'll continue for another year, but I didn't sign it... so you're screwed." The resident was matched into the program by the computer match service (ERAS). Is there a legal recourse? One can say move on. But these days medical residencies are not offered on phone/interview any more. One has to go thru computer match service. And there is no computer match for a resident who has finished one year of residency. It is extremely difficult to find a 2nd year position if the program fires a resident at the end of first year.
Looking forward to your comments and guidance. Dakshin
