I've heard the same thing that 3+2 is coming. Graduating class of 2015 (Gen Cards) will be the last one to do 3+1 or 2+2 as they have time to squeeze in that extra year now. So starting 2016, you have to have finished you Gen cards to start EP. All the 3+1/2+2 business should be finished by June 30 2015. What I heard was that finishing 3 yrs of GC will now be a requirement to start EP effectively removing any 2+2 business and it will be 2 yrs of duration - removing any 3+1 business.
If the new rule is enforced, all the EP programs are supposed to go to 2 years. This could mean even less interest in the EP field except for the die hard fans. This could be one way to thin the crowd; to ensure there will be jobs for future trainees.
I also heard that the basic/minimum number of procedures required is going to go up as well.
Anyone else has any other updates?
