Recent college grad here, who is seriously considering med school, with a strong interest in emergency medicine. I’ve heard a number of people here say that the job prospects for EM are great. They could quit their job on Monday and have another one by Friday. How true is this in more ruralish areas? I would do med school/residency wherever I could, but I would prefer to live in a more ruralish location afterwards. I grew up in Vermont (right outside of Burlington) and would love to live there or somewhere like it. States like Colorado, Oregon, Washington, maybe Montana, Utah, Wyoming, etc. I don’t really want to live in a big city or a suburb of one. I also don’t want to live in the absolute middle of nowhere (I do love the mix of the Burlington area to be honest, rural, but not too much)
I love skiing, hiking, mountain biking and other naturey stuff, however I don’t want to have to get on an airplane to do these things. I don’t care how great certain states are for doctors. I want to love where I am outside of work.
What are the prospects in places like this? Is employment easy here or are the 1000’s of job opportunities limited to big population centers?
