Not bad. Med students certainly woke up to the EM scam.
Can you elaborate please? Just curious. Thanks.Not bad. Med students certainly woke up to the EM scam.
Working evenings/nights/holidays many days of the month isn’t a recipe for long-term health or happiness. It’s something that’s fun in your 20’s, I admit. But, then you get older and the excitement wears off real quickly. Also, add critically ill patients, traumas, and psychiatric patients on top of the bad hours and you have a recipe for rapid burnout.Can you elaborate please? Just curious. Thanks.

Path ain’t easy, but it’s something you can get better and more efficient at with time, and you have pretty reasonable control of your hours. Most pathologists don’t work many holidays, and they certainly don’t work many evenings or nights.
I suspect that it is. COVID put a lot of pathology services front and center, and likely got a larger group of students interested in the field. The upswing in job availability also didn't hurt.Is the spike in radiology and pathology USG applicants a result of the pandemic?
‘Em is in a death spiral. Buyer beware.EM went into the crapper because of the job market. No doubt about it. They are fighting it out with rad onc for the worst.
Path has a long way to go but the recent job market definitely helped.
