Now take a deep breath and relax. Things are lookin' good

2004* 2003**
Offered Unfilled Offered Unfilled
Categorical PGY-1 443 29 431 16
Advanced PGY-2 846 60 833 37
Total 1289 89 1264 53
%Filled 93.10 95.81
%Unfilled 6.90 4.19

* Table 10 - Programs, positions ranged and filled in 2003
(All applicants)
** This year's regional match results (from NRMP website)

Also if you look at the Table 6, positions offered and percent filled by us seniors and all applicants 1999-2003 you'll notice an interesting trend

`99 `00 `01 `02 `03 `04
Categorical - 77 - 84 - 90 - 95.7 - 96.3 - 93.4
Advanced - 64 - 78 - 87 - 95 - 95.6 - 93
(percent filled by ALL grads)

So for everyone that's going into the field. It seems this is about the most competitive it might get. The hype is out there, so people think we're on par with rads or optho (at least the jokers I've talked to).

Cheers to the future anesthesiologists, whether you match now, or in the future. Remember the more people in the field ==> better for the specialty.

The tabs are kind of messed up - so just extrapolate from the numbers
(2003 - 4% unfilled, 2004 - 7% unfilled).

To all medical students -->
RELAX!

The more people in the field the worse for us! The jobs are hot out there because of supply and demand, if demand goes up, good bye great job offers. But still nice to hear anesthesia is defintly reachable

1) Well, that's a crock if I ever heard it. There is more spots in Anesthesia than EM or OB and we're no where close to filling them. Btw, just because they're filled doesn't mean the specialty is competitive either.

2) More people=more lobbying power. The surgical demand is growing at 2.3% per year (or at least that's what they tell you at Columbia).

I think what you meant was that IF THE SUPPLY goes up than the leverage goes to the providers NOT THE DEMAND. You have nothing to do with the demand (unless you want to munchausen your way into many unnecessary surgeries).

Did you go to the macgyver school of logic and insanity?. Relax.
