Yes it is possible to get a spot post-match, I personally know a guy who did this, but I guess you need to know the right people or go to the right places nod

Your options are likely to be very limited though.

A guy in Valuemd is suppose to work for the nrmp and he said this
http://www.valuemd.com/residency-match-forum/1523...

You can start a program at anytime if you are an IMG and you are eligible and the program is willing to start you off-cycle. If you go through the match, you need to be ready to start July 1st. If you have an agreement with the program to start at another time then you can do this.

So HURRAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY
Now I just need to go into OCD with the exams a litle more.
Im gettin in this year Im getting n this year, Yes I know I only have step1 so let me enjoy my delusion momentary.
