Hello pharmacy community, I have decided that I want to pursue becoming BCCCP (critical care) certified. I am planning on taking the exam late spring or fall 2026. For some background on myself and my education, I did not do residency. I have worked in hospital pharmacy in level 1 trauma...

Want to pursue a clinical fellowship. In a good community program with a supportive faculty.

I'm a medical student applying psychiatry, really interested in emergency psych. I've noticed some differences in how medical workup / "clearance" works at different institutions, but I've only seen practices at one site, so I'm curious to gauge what's "normal" or common practice. I've been...

Hi, Recently took the good old ABEM written certification exam. It was quite interesting to say the least and esoteric. I have counted at least 40 wrong questions, 35 of which I know for sure is wrong and 5 which I am not sure. My question to those who have taken it and passed. What percent...

Hi everyone, I'm currently trying to decide between Hofstra and Einstein and would really appreciate your feedback. 1.For a little bit of context, Tuition is covered at both schools via scholarships, so costs would be relatively the same. 2.I currently live on Long Island and will not be...

Humor me EM docs of SDN: What essential on-shift items do you always keep on hand? Are there any items you wish you could access more easily while wearing scrubs? Do you have any creative solutions for carrying items that currently pose a challenge? I'd REALLY appreciate any and all...

I am currently in my final year of residency at an university program, and am really interested in academic EM and possibly doing a fellowship in ultrasound next year. I'm just looking for any input regarding which are some really good fellowship programs out there at the moment.

According to social media reports, this year's National Resident Matching Program left 555 unfilled positions in emergency medicine. While the positions will likely be filled in the Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program, it is noteworthy because, as recently as three to four years ago, the...

Number of applicants for EM declines further...

I am strongly considering applying for US Army HPSP when I (hopefully) attend medical school. I would like to be an emergency medical physician, but my parents don’t agree. I would not be doing it just for the money, although the funds would eliminate debts. I have been interested in joining the...

Can someone that has done fellowships share how much additional general EM training can be obtained from a fellowship? I am at a 3 year EM program and am afraid I will feel incompetent coming out of residency. We have trouble with many procedures and see relatively low volume per shift. We are...

As the 2021-2022 interview season is in full swing my schedule is getting pretty full. I've been scheduled to interview at 26 institutions for EM, and I know that is far too many and I need to cancel some of them, but I still want to keep a good number to insure match. Anyone else in the same...

Hello, Where can I find an accurate and updated list of only the 3 year long EM residencies to help with my ERAS application? There does not seem to be a way to filter out the 4 year long EM programs on MyERAS or FREIDA. The SAEM lists are not accurate or updated. Thanks!

If not, what are some of the different ways a Navy physician can work with Marine/SEALs?

MS4 here waffling between FM and EM. And the question everyone asks me and I see posted everywhere is "well... do you want continuity of care?" How are we to know what real continuity of care is when we're only in a clinic for 1 month at a time? In general I'm passionate about meaningful...

I'm a recent MD grad from an east coast med school who matched into an academic West Coast emergency medicine program. This application cycle was particularly hard for me because I hadn't been able to visit programs and cities. I unfortunately ended up prioritizing reputation and program length...

I'm currently a PGY1 EM resident in north florida and am looking to transfer or swap to a south florida program- either to restart PGY1 or as a PGY2. Help! :)

Currently, there are only 3 FM/EM programs (5 years) in the country. Why are these programs not more common? To a naive med student, dual board certification in FM and EM seems to create the ultimate rural doctor, and something like this pathway is what other large countries with remote areas...

Hello, I'm a MS-3, enthusiastic in pursuing a path in EM. I know VSAS doesn't open until next year but I would like to get in touch with EM residency programs that are still accepting students despite COVID to learn more about their programs and possibly schedule an away rotation for 2021...

University of Chicago: I enjoyed the interview there with the PD and faculty. PD was very approachable! Did not rotate here. one of the top tier programs in my opinion. You work a 3 places, hence, getting a variety in your experience. Heard great things about mt.sinai rotation. Residents get...

Hi Y'all, A question for the current and former medical directors out there: I'm early in my attending career and considering a couple different options - an academic job with built-in leadership opportunities for about 60-65% of the pay of an alternative "community" gig within a large health...

Hi Y'all, New attending here. Does anyone find any value, either perceived by employers or in their actual clinical practice, from some of the more obscure acute care courses like the neonatal resucitation program (NRP) or advanced burn life support (ABLS)? I work a lot of remote, single...

Putting feelers out to see if anyone has done this and what their experience has been? Current PGY2 Anesthesia resident, was torn between Anesthesia and EM so interviewed and applied both. Ranked Anesthesia higher, matched to a great program. Realize now that I miss the teamwork, diagnostics...
