not an em resident myself but gotta put in a plug for the local team at la county/usc. the place rocks. in the 90's it was the second busiest trauma ctr in the world(after the one in south africa)..

big county is a shady place. i dont' blame u holding it almost sacrad: it's like being star struck as a paramedic. however, that place is a dump. the quality of care/learning there is nothing to brag about. sure, u'll see alot of pathology and alot of stuff, but there are alot more top notch programs with great pathology and trauma.

...or by city....

Highlights

Rate per 100K population 2005

Atlanta (our winner) 12.7 - could it be because the CDC is so close?
Memphis 11.0
Birmingham 9.3
Baltimore 9.2

The south is the runaway winner..

Wow, that much syphilis and TB, too! Sweet, I think that bumps Emory up at least two places in the rankings for the Best EM Residency in the Nation.

For all my chi-town guys out there, the training at Harold's Chicken Shack can't be beat. inner-city population. tons of procedures. Plus, they're old school (1950's), so there's pretty good name recognition.

wouldn't you want to be one of those guys?

Cool. When I get to Chicago to start PA school in five short months, I will have to get my foot in the door at Harold's. I've got plenty of goodwill for the S'n's already, of course, and there's no reason I can't do a little of both.

Meantime, in the here and now, the EM residency at the place I work is awesome in part because senior residents get to mess with the electronic charting software, and assign "code names" for all the providers.

For example, if your name was Charles North*, the program would combine the first parts of your last and first names, and put you as "NoCha" as a default... but within days of your arrival, it would likely be changed to "Nacho." And then everyone would call you "Nacho" for the next three years, including the nurses and techs.

If you were Susan Miller*, you'd be "MiSus," and after a few missteps, you'd probably wind up being called "Mrs. Butterworth," without any changes to the screen. Some who have graduated from the program are still referred to by their code names.



* not real resident names, but the principle is the same.
