Hi,
I'm currently a US IMG pursuing PICU fellowship at my top choice which is also the top children's hospital in my state and among one of the best in the country. Due to a variety of reasons, I'm considering the possibility of swapping to a program to be closer with family and friends
I'd highly appreciate if anyone could answer the following

I'd highly appreciate if anyone could answer the following
- I've seen swaps in residency but is it even possible in fellowship
- If yes, what is the process or are there any set guidelines provided I'm able to find a vacant spot (highly unlikely) or find someone in an appropriate program who is willing to swap
- I heard some positions went unfilled during 2022's match. Can I approach them provided they aren't already filled in SOAP
- How do I approach my program with such a request and how do they perceive it
- How do potential employers/recruiters perceive this during job hunt and will it have any repercussions or negatively impact my profile
