Guys: I need your suggestions. I have only applied for surgical programs and only got one intv. call up til now. I am feeling bit unsafe. I cannot afford to get unmatch this year. The LOR's I have are only from surgical specialties. I wonder which specialty I can apply to using same surgical LOR's and still keep the chance of getting interview as a backup plan?

The same here
But is is possible to apply for pediatric surgery directly? As far as i know furst you have got to fifnish 5 years of general surgery. Am i wrong?
Maybe pediatric rezidency? Is somebody better informed about this?

no, you cannot apply for pediatric surgery. Pediatrics experience is plus is you want to do pediatric surgery later. What about Transitional years. How easy it is to get them?
