Path's lead is shrinking..

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Random question-how much money is everyone spending during interview season for travel, accomodations, etc, assuming you have 10-15 interviews spread somewhat throughout the country?

(I'm trying to base the interview numbers off the "typical" EM applicant)
 
Over an hour since anyone posted. Pick it up, people, pick it up.
 
On a random note, do you know that you can have a credit card even once you have passed away? I am working on organizing my grandparents' estate and every month they still get their Discover bill (with the automatic billing from AT&T on it, we still have the house).

This is a tough one because there is so much variation! 2 of the 5 interviews I have been on cost me nothing, both were in Chicago where I live. I also did one in Det which cost me about $50 in gas, they hooked it up with free hotel and dinner the night before. Then I did a multi leg flight thing.. $300 in airfare to 2 places, $100 in hotels (stayed with friends for part of it) and another $100 in car rentals.

I will break this up for +pad+ purposes.

So for 5 interviews I spent $550, I think have 5 more to do.. But I will be staying at a friends house for a week and using his car so all I have to pay for is plane tix and a nice dinner to thank him! ~$400

My other trip will cost $200 for airfare and about 250 for hotel and car.

so for my 10 interviews im looking at $1400..

IMO this is cheap unless you know you want to go to NYC and can interview at 10 programs there or something. A large part of figuring this out is location of where you want to go vs where you are.

Hope this helps.

Imagine hotel costs for a week in a major city. Even if they are "real cheap" I would be looking at 350-400.

My cheapest hotel was $41 which included tax... Thanks Hotwire.. Of course staying with friends is FREE!!

If the ability to multitask is a pre-req for EM, then why are most of the EM docs I've seen male? 😛

If we put ED's inside of cars and told women that they had to put on their makeup while driving and resuscitating a patient, then more women might go into the field.
 
Turtle, wow amazing string of success. I also am a texas hold em expert.
