As a MS1, I am pretty sure that I want to go EM. Having prior experience in the er has influenced my decision. My question is this... as residents or students interested in EM what would be your suggestions on being a competitve applicant? Looking back, what would you have done differently and what did you feel was beneficial?
Thanks for your help

You gotta find the magic web site that tells all: www.saem.org

there's a book put out by AAEM that is helpful, available for free on their website (www.emstudent.org). Also, look at www.emra.org for helpful information.

I think the book is called "Rules of the Road"...

EMRA has a great site for students, make sure you check it out. Also try www.saem.org, they have a student section about what you should look for.

Consider joining EMRA and AAEM, both supply you with lots of information about applying. When I joined EMRA my end of my 2nd year, they sent me a book "Medical Student's Survival Guide." it helped a LOT! And was especially helpful on interviews...
