You can't legally practice as a primary care physician without one year of internship, after which you get unrestricted licensed. If you're unmatched, no internship. Is that not correct?
Yea that’s right. You can scramble separately into 1 year internships. Those are really easy to get - but the unfilled spots are not in happy places. They’re usually more rural and surgical.
But like you said if you have a year under your belt you can work in an urgent care or the like.
