One of the hospitals associated with our university is offering a 1 yr ER fellowship for primary care physicians. I would be very interested in doing something like this, but have heard really mixed comments from some folks. Anyone have any experience with programs that are similar? I know it doesn't allow any extra board certification, but coming from an Internal Medicine residency, to work in an ED I would need peds and trauma training to make me minimally competant, as well as some small amount of obstetrics. I am also not interested in being only minimally competent, as I like to be good at what I'm doing and not only adequate. Our IM program does offer a fair amount of procedural education and ambulatory experience. Additionally, I could potentially have 3-4 months of dedicated ER electives by the end, also.
Thoughts?
