Nope, the minimum residency for any specialty is 3 years.

The EM/IM double whammy is four years, right?

Nope - 5 years. EM/Peds is also 5 years. Med/Psych is 5 years.

Med/Peds is 4 years.

The Las Vegas In-N-Out EM residency offers a two year program but only if you come in with significant experience from Wendy's or Burger King first 😀

Actually for those interested in non-clinical residencies, according to Frieda, there are 2 year residencies in medical genetics, occupational medicine, public health, and preventive medicine. Also, most of the aerospace medicine programs in preventive medicine are only 1 year long. The only caveat to all this, though, is that some programs require 1-2 years of prior GME training.

And of course, as we all know, there is the 5-year combined residency program in In-N-Out/Big Kahuna Burgers that annually places 100% of its graduates in competitive burgerology fellowships.


[Yeah, I changed the joke, but I had to work Big Kahuna in there somehow 🙂 ]

Can you get boarded in any of those?

Yes, in most of them. But actually ALL of them require 1 year of previous training. This is because alomost every state requires the completion of an intern year for licensing. So, you do a intern year, plus the two year residency, and you have three years. Actually, all three and four year EM residencies that don't require a separate intern year have to have their first year of trianing meet the ACGME standards for an intern year (those are pretty loose standards however).

5 Years? Those bastards!

I would rather ignite my own pubic hair than pull five years as a resident.

Damn, that's a fairly graphic description. Have experience with this, do you? Sort of an inverted Michael Jackson/Pepsi kind of thing?

Take care,

Dude, the words "inversion" and "Michael Jackson" should somehow not be placed in the same sentence. It just sounds wrong. Doh, I did it again!

I really thought the EM/IM thing would fit my career goals perfectly, but 5 years! 😱

Are the last year or two at least kind of like being an attending or at least a bit more relaxed?

Do you become an EM doc at the end of year three and an IM doc at the end of year five (after the board exam of course)?

Anyone?

 

[Apollyon]

No, you just do your blocks of EM and IM, and finish up in June, 5 years after you started. You can get licensed after however many years, but you can't get boarded (or be board eligible/board prepared) because you haven't completed a residency yet.

Again I say, those bastards!
