EM resident here
Recently became interested in critical care after a recent rotation. I just started my PGY2 year in a 3 year program.
My goal is to work in a MICU/ CICU
It seems there's a lot more Anesthesia cc programs who are more welcoming to EM grads. Would it be a road block if I applied to these programs as my goal is to end up in a MICU. Theres only a limited amount of medicine CC program.
I would have to apply 6 months or so earlier to an anesthesia program vs medicine program in order to start right after residency.
Any thoughts, im basically worried about my chances for a medicine spot, but also anesthesia has more spots, seems more welcoming to EM people, and way more desirable locations.
Thanks
