It dependsby Anonymous (no login)It all depends why the program closed and when the director/staff knew about it. Unfortunately this happens both in podiatric and other medical professions. Did the program close because the hospital closed or was in financial difficulty? Was the director let go or did they resign and no replacement could be found(this happens occasionally when the director is not paid or paid poorly)? Did it close because the program lost acredidation? Sometimes because of politics, funding or both the hospital will announce closure at the last minute. Hardly the directors fault. However the hospital who sponsors the program should act reasonably in regards to those selected. If funding was an issue or the hospital is hurting or closing, they will do little. If the program lost it's accredidation after being on probation then someone could probably be held liable. But you would have to prove they willing withheld this information when they selected you. But I am not an attorney. My advice is reapply. There is a shortage of grads right now and the graduates are actually in the drivers seat for once. If you are good candidate, I would be surprised if you didn't match again. Good luck! from IP address 205.188.209.74 Goto Forum Home |
