Most residencies will start the mid to end of June. Good luck (and asking for a late start isn't a good way to start a program - patient care issues due to the other residents who are leaving the program....)

just to add....apart from filling out forms...most programs will have ACLS certification classes for people who r not ACLS certified..[ u must b ACLS certified b4 u can start ur residency or PALS for pediatrics]...n remember most programs will have orientation b4 they start officially.....n one needs to attend orientation to know wats going on n wat kinda responsibilities one would have as a resident....good luck
