What non-EM electives do you think would be useful to take 4th year (maybe ones that EM residency training doesn't give enough practice in)?
I've already done a SICU elective and am scheduled for a radiology and an EKG one, but I might still have some room for a few more 2 and/or 4 week. I've heard people say anesthesiology, derm, ophthalmology, ortho/sports med, Peds EM, Tox, ID, ultrasound, etc. And wanted to see what current attendings, residents, or even 4th years think. Any thoughts about useful electives and/or specific programs to apply to for certain ones? I am personally not looking for something super easy just for credit, but ones that can be useful to for future practice. Thanks!
