Went on SAEM.ORG yesterday and noticed a new three-year program at Georgetown just got approval. They are accepting applications.

Does anyone have any info on this new program? In general, are new programs less competitive?

Don't know much about G'towns program... I do know their ED was (or maybe still is) pretty un-busy and small. But to get accredidation you have to have a certain # of ED visits, so I doubt there would be a problem.

I think in general, any program that is just starting out is going to be a little less competitive. However, DC is a great location and that by itself may make it a little more competitive than usual.

I seem to recall from travels in past lives that Georgetown (or was it GWU?) sent residents to Holy Cross and INOVA Fairfax as well.

40K visits/year is the minimum.

gwu sends their residents to PG and to inova fairfax... iirc georgetown's sticking point was that they needed more peds, i guess they found it. they use wash hosp center for their main hosp, no?

people will apply there b/c of geography, that's for sure. the dc/balt area needed another program.

I don't know fer sure, but I'd assume GT would send their residents to Washington Hospital Center, Fairfax, GT, and +/- PG County, +/- Holy Cross...

GTown merged with MedStar Health a few years ago. Now Washington Hospital Center is the main teaching hospital and the University Hospital is more or less just for the name.

I know the GW ED residents staff Inova Fairfax, so I don't know how that would work??
