Title pretty much says it all. Are there any FM residencies(guessing unopposed) ON THE EAST COAST that allow FM residents to run trauma codes? Thanks for the replies
Ok... His status says 'medical student'OP is a resident already, they are probably well aware of that fact.
I know UT-Knoxville does trauma as part of their surgery rotation. I’m not sure how involved that is though, as it was a turn off for me when looking at them for residency.Yes I am a resident already and I am at a residency on the west coast that has great trauma experience built into the surgery rotation. However, my mother has been getting sicker and I’m hoping to somehow move to the east coast(PD already knows), but I am just looking for options without surrendering experience.
When I interviewed with Cabarrus FM in Concord, NC they had a trauma rotation set up at what was then Carolinas in Charlotte. A former resident was in the military and after residency was being sent to Iraq (this was 2009) and wanted more trauma experience so he spent a month in the level 1 trauma center.
It wasn't standard then eitherThis isn't a standard rotation at the program now, but it could probably be arranged if requested during 3rd year electives. They try their darndest to get you the rotations you want.
