Is it common for internist to work full-time in the ED? I know that was the case before EM became its own specialty, but how common is it today with all the EM residency trained docs out there?

Jeff698 said:That obviously depends on the format of the program. All folks in 2-4 programs come in as PGYIIs after an intern year, typically in medicine or surgery.
From what I understand, in a 1-3 program you can (assuming your PD wants you to) get about 6 months of credit toward your intern year for previous training.
Take care,
Jeff
