Hi Everyone,
I am a second year medical student interested in Emergency Medicine. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to get advice from current ER residents on how to be competitive. I also have additional questions:
1) Is research required or recommended to specialize/match into emergency medicine?
2) What Step score should I range in to match into Columbia/NYU ER Residencies?
3) Are Grades in first year important? Will they hurt you when matching into a top ER Residency?
4) Columbia has an ER Resident salary of 71K and NYU is around 65K, where do ER Residents in NY live? How much do you pay a month in rent? Is the salary enough or will you be living like a broke undergrad student again? What is your monthly/bi weekly check look like after taxes?
5) For those who are NY ER Residents, what program are you in and do you get to pick day/night shift schedule?
I really appreciate your advice!!
Thank You!!!
