Anyone here didn't match this year in EM?

[rs2006]

Hi everyone,

If so, what are you gonna do?

Your question is a little old by about 2 1/2 weeks, and quite frankly it is like puring salt on a wound for those unfortunate folks. Do a search.

 

[Sweet Tea]

Oh hell I'll bite.

Hi, my name is ST, and I didn't Match. I've got a prelim year of surgery this year and next year I'll retry. There are other Scramblers like me out there, but I'll let them reveal themselves when and if they choose.

 

[nocallaochicas]

I am not sure of the point here either, but like ST...
My name is nocallaochicas, and I didn't match.

"If so, what are you gonna do?"

Prelim medicine. Are you wondering about what else can be done? Why are you asking?

Well, there it is. I feel part of the SDN EM non-matching club. I am really waiting for next year when this club dissolves!

I'm really hoping that I've only purchased a 1-year membership in this club. Don't take it personally, NCC, but I don't want to be here with you again next year!

Oh, the club WILL BE DISBANDED. Or SOMEONE will encounter some SoCute wrath. Which is a LOT scarier than it sounds.

No one has seen fear until they've had 90lbs of whoop a$$ unloaded on them.

 

[SolidGold]

I'm backing SoCute up on this one, she's 110 lbs.

Hey guys, sorry I'm late.
Uh, I'm going to travel to SE Asia and learn holistic medicine.
Wait, no, I'm doing a prelim surgery year. Also, I am calling places to find out what I need to change, because obviously I didn't do something right this year.

 

[SoCuteMD]

AHEM...107 lbs. What do you think I am, a fatass? (kidding, for those who have no sarcasm-meter)

 

[deleted77919]

Having never met you, you might indeed be very overweight even at 107. If you happen to be 3 feet tall that would put you right at a BMI of 58, which meets the standards for being morbidly obese.

I mentioned it before.... I didnt match. I almost took a spot in a low end EM program in the scramble but decided against it. ( thank you God) I regrouped. Did a transitional year composed of a lot of ICU and ED time at a large university hospital. I had no problems getting into my first pick 2-3-4 EM program.

It aint over unless you want it to be

I may be misunderstanding your timeline here, Fiskus, but...

What did you do during the year between your transistional year and first year in the 234?

Me too! Let's share the club presidency (with the accidental surgeon Ninja, if he wants) this year and then get expelled from the club in March of '08!

Guys, I'd keep an eye on the residency vacancy section at saem.org (got to the website, click on residency tab on left, and there is a link to residency vacancy service on the next page.

Most are for upper years, but in years past, I have seen some intern jobs come up.. it's like a late 2nd chance at scramble. And I think you will be able to get a release from your prelim years under these circumstances if you have an understanding PD.

Good luck.

I actually saw a PGY1 spot there the other day. I for get where it was...worth checking out...

Yeah...wear shin guards, cuz that's all that she can reach.

Yo guys...spot is open at Case Western. Get on the horn. It's listed twice...don't know if that means 1 or 2 spots.

I have no problem with sharing the presidency. I may contact CWRU once I am not stuck on this island.

 

[leorl]

Does anyone know anything about this job? I actually applied for it (threw together an application form the day before my exam, stayed up all night doing it). The lady is really hard to reach but I just wanted to know when you find out if they have considered your application and rejected or offered an interview? It would be a real long shot, especially considering I didn't go through the match last cycle, but figured I might as well try.

 

[Red Runner]

I think I know you Sweet Tea and I know you should have matched. I will go to bat for you next year as well. We have to rescue you from that hellacious service known as surgery. I wish all of you success as you reapply. Do not give up, please...

 

[coldcoldworld]

Apparently the CWRU spot is one that they found funding for after the match cycle had gone through. No one left the program. Also, there's only one spot, not 2 like listed on SAEM.

Wait a minute. I need to end up in that area too, as my wife is there now. That's a lot of batting.

I guess you interviewed with us then... Care to PM me where you wife is in residency I wish you luck as well, no one should be separated from their spouse.... well, actually, I can think of many patients that need to be but you get the point. Hope to see you soon.

 

[rubberducky115]

I'll bite too.

I didn't match this year...will be doing a Prelim surg year next year at a "humane" program. Surgeons are friendly. You get to do surgeries as a PGY1 and it's not all floorwork. Will be reapplying next year.
