I think one will have to work a bit harder for a residency than an internship.Keep in mind that one can continue doing RMO jobs at the same time and earn a good money.But, at the same time I think it will be definitely possible to get into a primary care residency than other residencies.
Good Luck!

can one apply for the internship at any time of the year or are there some specific dates one needs to that?

No, there is no specific time to apply for an internship.One can apply round the year and usually one is successful in getting an internship in three to four months.
Good Luck!
