Not sure if he made a wise decision though. He got downgraded a year and is taking primary calls again. I would not do that if I were a senior resident with only few years left for graduation

Mustve been a real awful time at SLU if he decided he'd much better get reamed in the *ss like that

sometimes you have to take one step back to take two steps forward. good for him.

Maybe he was just too cocky and arrogant. Despite being a small program, SLU seems a great place to train.

Why did SLU let him leave?

A program cannot “make a resident stay” if he/she wants to leave and there is a spot for him/her somewhere else. It’s up to the receiving program to decide if they offer said resident a position or not. My guess is that SLU had no way to stop it.

Exactly. It appears that SLU fully supported his decision for research at WashU. The guy established connections and he grabbed the spot when vacant. It sounds to me that he betrayed the trust of his own program. Any insiders info would be valuable.

Just seems politically like a poor move overall.
