JackBauER, Irrka, Congrats. Ill see you at lincoln in two years.

Well if you want to be technical about it 1 year and 3 months!! woohoo. Maybe colforbin can help me with the countdown to new york!

 

[irrka]

Maybe colforbin can help me with the countdown to new york!

wasn't colforbin going to DC?

 

[JackBauERfan]

wasn't colforbin going to DC?

yeah, but he can still help with the countdown, since he has been officially appointed as Countdown keeper on SDN emergency med forum.

 

[irrka]

amen

 

[colforbinMD]

yeah, but he can still help with the countdown, since he has been officially appointed as Countdown keeper on SDN emergency med forum.

See what I have come to realize, though I do so with a heavy heart, is I must decline the appointment of official countdown keeper. The problem is that without fear as a motivating force I am afraid I would just not do a good enough job and let you all down. Then I could not live with myself 🙁 🙁
Thank you for the honor though. I am truly touched. 😉

 

[irrka]

i'm sure since you asked nicely, fear can be provided 😉

 

[USMan22]

I am also headed to St. Luke's/Roosevelt.

Ha haha...I know you too...You go to my school too....hahaha...I'm goint to USC..I think I saw a post by another one of our mates...WOw...16/16 matched for EM....AWESOME!!! Not bad for a class of 90+.

Hey...let me get your number before you leave for SLR...hahaha....

 

[EctopicFetus]

so 2 on here and 2 in class all going to Lincoln.. how big is the class there?

 

[EctopicFetus]

alright, let's hear the dirt on these two: boys/girls, cool/uncool, etc. etc. etc. do your job EF! seriously! you'd think you were hanging out here just to post pad! sheesh!! 🙄
no seriously, let's hear!

Well one of them is actually Lafiera so i wont say anything bad about her 🙂 the other student is also a female. Both honestly great people. Nice smart and happy which IMO is all you could ask for from any resident. you guys should have an AMAZING class. I couldnt be happier than a pig in poop that Arizona found me worthy!! Im super excited about being there!!! Ill say this for Jack and irrka you wont be sad when you meet my 2 classmates. Both are awesome people and I would be lucky if I could be in a program with either of them let alone both of them!!!

All that being said they are different from one another but thats not a bad thing!

cool, yeah well most people going into EM are cool right! Yeah its gonna be fun hott in az! I'm actually a closet arizona cardinals fan (used to live near st. louis, which they are from) and never lost track of them just because they moved out west! And this year with the addition of Edge and WR fitz/boldin, its gonna be a fun year. But I HAVE been dissapointed many times by them, I still have confidence that they will kick some serious booty.

 

[irrka]

EF: you're just not a fun gossiper; i know everyone is great, i just wanted some details, since you're in the position to know 😉 but go ahead and be pc.... i guess i'll have to forgive you....

Well since both of the people who matched there know me and my screen name Ill be PC.. but honestly both are real cool chix and both very different. I would honestly be happy to be in residency with either of them! AZ here I come..Im ready to be back in the warm weather!!!

GO COWBOYS ! ! !

 

[JackBauERfan]

GO COWBOYS ! ! !

wow, nice my friend is a big cowboy fan and was hoping this goes through. I don't mind TO sooo much, but I also have friends that DESPISE him. I guess its a hate/love thing haha. I do think Dallas is gonna have a top notch defense next year, so TO should make a good addition to their offense.

 

[EctopicFetus]

Umm Dallas.. No O line, no QB... im guessing after TO gets pissed about not getting the ball he gets suspended and the boys finish 7-9...

 

[mward04]

GO COWBOYS ! ! !

I'm so happy about the Owens signing...He'll do what he did to the Eagles 😀

Go Skins!!!

 

[AK2006]

Thought I'd post where other people from Utah are going:

Carolinas x 2
Wash U
Mayo
Philadelphia
Pittsburgh
Georgetown
Texas A/M
Kentucky
Med College Wisconsin
Duke
Tucson
Maricopa
New Mexico
Loma Linda

Forgot a few, but that's most of them! Pretty interesting spread I think.
Congrats to everyone for their success. 😀

 

[bostongirl22]

UConn anyone 😍

I'll be joining you at UConn! I'm excited!!!

 

[EMDrMoe]

Are you new to the Tampa area or originally from there?? I'm asking because I'm from the region.

I'm originally from Buffalo, NY! MUCH nicer weather in Tampa 🙂 My mother relocated to Apollo Beach 3 years ago and I have a lot of family around the state. They all decided that Buffalo was for the birds, apparently. Where are you from?

 

[cowgirlcarrie]

I don't particularily like TO but I think he will do a good job as long as the Tuna can keep his attitude under control. I just hope we can get a good QB ths year to replace Romo so they can replace Bledsoe next year.

 

[ewells]

EM from Penn State:
Arizona
Wake Forest
Florida-Jacksonville
Christiana
Penn State
York (me)

Small class for us this year. The last few years have had between 10-15.

 

[roja]

lillian79 and Tree. Check your PM's. 🙂

 

[bulgethetwine]

I'm so happy about the Owens signing...He'll do what he did to the Eagles 😀

Go Skins!!!

T.O. What a Jack Ass. He embodies everything that is wrong with Pro Sports. Think I'll go watch the college kids play, thank you very much. Go Carolina Blue!

 

[EctopicFetus]

Go Carolina Blue!

Cant say I disagree on the TO stuff but clearly there isnt too much college football cheering for you guys.. Stick to bball and soccer 😉

 

[emmd06]

Nice job, everyone. Now that things have calmed down a bit, I can look through this forum while procrastinating writing my fourth-year research paper(requirement for anyone else?).

I'm off to Northwestern. One other kid from my class is moving to Chicago - UIC (EM/IM). 5-6 are going to Jacobi, 3-4 (one EM/IM) are going to Downstate/Kings County, someone's off to that strange far-off land of California (Irvine, I think). Did you guys find out specifics just from asking around, or did your schools already post rank lists? The people at Einstein are lazy and probably won't post it for a few days.

 

[Hawk22]

Well after today it looks like we'll have to stick to soccer for a while here in Chapel Hill. 🙁


Man I need a drink.....

 

[irrka]

JackBauER, Irrka, Congrats. Ill see you at lincoln in two years.

TBP: hey, what are you doing for your first year?

 

[Cabrinha_CO2]

Pitt, which was my number one. Congrats to everyone, it's nice to see our four years pay off.

 

[JackBauERfan]

TBP: hey, what are you doing for your first year?

I think TBP is already a resident there....not sure but I think from previous posts I remember.

 

[kbrown]

does anyone know of classmates/self who will be headed to Henry Ford in Detroit? i am looking for classmates. they sent me everything under the sun (contract, banks, housing, medical license stuff) but no list of my classmates.

 

[colforbinMD]

It's like having cancer, then awakeing one morning to find not only have you beaten it and it's gone but that one of your most despised colleagues has it now instead. 😀
In short TO in Dallas is like my birthday, match day, and Christmas all wrapped in up in one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍 👍

[size=+1]EM Residency Programs Still Strong[/size]


On Match Day last week, emergency medicine continued to be one of most popular specialties with 1,251 first-year residency positions offered, trailing only internal medicine, family practice and pediatrics. This year’s match offered 63 more positions than last year, thanks in part to a redistribution of federal GME funds. Of the positions offered, 1,218 were filled (97.4 percent), but the number filled by US medical school seniors dropped 4.5 percent from last year, according to the National Resident Matching Program. See how the future of emergency medicine fared, and compare its numbers to the past six years with the complete Match Day results available at www.nrmp.org. And watch for an analysis on the emergency medicine trends in resident matching in the April edition of ACEP News.

BKN, any insight as to why less US Seniors into EM? Was it less interest or more competition/acceptence of non-US seniors?

I ask because I helped a good friend scramble into Peds, and the student coordinator here said that there just weren't many spots in all specialties. This year there were only 88 Peds spots to scramble into. Seems like alot of different places/specialties filled.

Just wondering if you could share any insight.

Personally I like the competition idea myself 🙂

 

[La Fiera]

Jack and Irrka,
Since you are so interested I thought I'd pipe in and let you know a little about myself- I'm 7 feet tall, look like Angelina Jolie, have a photographic memory, am the envy of every woman in Chicago, can speak 15 languages fluently, and can bench press 1000 pounds with my index fingers.
He he, you'll just have to wait and see! I can't wait to meet you guys!

Well 63/1251 = 5% more slots, 4.5% less us seniors in 105% of 2005 slots sounds like nearly identical number of us seniors each year. Looks like we're still in equipoise and the DOs and IMGs are scarfing up the new slots.

Hmmmm. Maybe I need to consider transferring to Lincoln... 🙂

 

[EctopicFetus]

I know Fiera and I can vouch the above is true.. though 7 foot might be an exaggeration. 6'10" is more likely.

 

[southerndoc]

Keep in mind that the "us seniors" number is for graduating seniors only and does not take into account the number of people who are doing second residencies, switching residencies, or who took a year off to do research.

Or those who took a year off to do more fun stuff like travel....man I wish I had done that! 😎 I met a number of applicants with some real worldly experience where folks like me went from HS to college to MS to residency, cause that's what we were told to do.

Okay. That makes sense from the EM perspective. I guess I was just a little surprised at how few spots there seemed to be overall (in all specialties) post-match to scramble into. Seems like it was a good year for what the match was supposed to do.

[UCLA2000]

Congrats everyone!!! It looks like you all did so well in the match.

I'm thrilled as well. I got my first choice!!!! UCSD

Fun, Sun, and a lil Emergency medicine on the side

Apparently all of our spots except 1 went to guys. Looks like every night is gonna be "guys night out" 🙂. We'll make her an honorary "guy". 👍
I hope she likes poker and beer 🙂.

 

[Peter Parker]

Here's Baylor's results from this year ... with no home EM program, 4 of 4 (in a class of 168) matched their 1st choice.

Hennepin
UChicago
UT Southwestern
Texas A&M/Scott & White

Like me. I don't really think any spots are being "scarfed up" by IMGs. I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, most of the IMGs who match into EM are Americans who went to foreign medical schools.

 

[totalbodypain]

I think TBP is already a resident there....not sure but I think from previous posts I remember.

Yep, I'll be one of your seniors when you start in another year and three months or whatever you guys have as the count. Live up your intern year and be prepared for the trenches.

Woohoo! Well, just to be fair, I'll mention that I'm 6'5 Handsome, blue eyes. I do try to workout 2-3 times a day, mainly doing some benchpressing and ab workouts. Some people say I do look 'a bit' like Brad Pitt, but I feel I have a better body. Actually I think during residency I am going to shoot a couple of films; my agent was telling me there was a spot on the next Ocean's Twelve sequel/triquel...

Looks like Lincoln might have the best looking residents!

trenches, so i gotta buy some boots now? I was used to just putting on some sandals, I guess I should start investing in some new attire.
