FMs can do fellowships in EM and work in the EM..it happens in many community hospitals.
.
Sorry to hear how stressful and disorganized the scramble is...I'm happy to hear you were able to secure a categorical IM spot through the scramble.
I don't have numbers ... there may be FM trained physicians with EM fellowships who work in community hospitals, but I think they are getting fewer and far in between.... maybe still prevalent in VERY rural places ..... i would definitely say that it is not the norm in community hospitals..
as per AAFP... "The only fellowships that are accredited by the RRC/ACGME and lead to certification (CAQ) by ABFP are in geriatrics, sports medicine, and adolescent medicine."
