Clueless MS3 Interested in EM

[Perfect Hair Day]

Howdy,

Long story short: tunnel-vision for 12 years, brut-force intention of going into IM to further pursue cardiology. Now interested in EM. I have a 247 Step 1, a few research experiences (but no posters/publications) in immunology and nephrology - obviously not EM. A handful of student interest group leadership roles (none in EM though), and a handful of random volunteer activities through medical school. I feel I've done well preparing for the Match for IM, but I have no clue what I can reasonably at this point in the game to "rebuild" and reframe my achievements to be successful in the EM match. I don't even know what programs are considered "good/competitive/strong" or if I would have any business applying to them.

Would really appreciate some insight and advice from anyone willing to help.

Thanks 🙂

Yeah that's pretty much it.

Pick your geographic preferences and 3 year vs 4 year programs.

We might ask about your research in an interview, but we won't care if it's not related to EM.

Most of my research has been outside of EM and it hasn't been an issue. Try to get involved in your schools EM interest group this year. I believe the most important part is just knocking your away rotations out of the park and the rest is all extra.
