EB2 NIW 5 waiver years in 2 locations

I have finished my 3 years of residency
in internal medicine and I will be finishing my 4th chief year in June 2011. My hospital falls in underserved area.
I have spent these in dc and I haven't filled for my green card as yet. Is it okay if I find a job in another underserved area say in PA and file for eb2 under NIW after I start work there? Will my 4 years in dc get counted towards the required 5 years of waiver for NIW?

Thanks

As far as I know, residency years in an underserved area do not count towards the 5 year EB2 NIW requirement, but in general the 5 years can be fulfilled in multiple locations but you may have to file multiple 140s for each location.
