Has anyone looked into the FP/ER programs? Is it osteopathic only? Anyone know the pros/cons about doing the combined program?

I think what you meant to say was, "Damn, I wish I had dual board certification instead of a big fat hole on my resume."Panda Bear said:Um.....no.

Maybe you can transfer to a new program after you're unsuccessful at EM too. And then spend the bulk of your time badmouthing the EM residency. What a waste. You blame the program; the program blames you. No one wins. Just a bunch of f_ucking whiners. Good luck finding your "calling" at 42.
