Hi,
So I know this is way early to be thinking about (I am starting med school next year), but telling the extended family about acceptances over the holidays led to many many questions about future specialties, and it got me thinking and looking casually on the internet with my family members. I have always said that I wanted to do pediatrics, and because of some EM experence, have been thinking about Ped EM. After looking around online, I have a couple of questions.
What do you know about the three combined EM/Peds residency programs? Is this path worth it or is a Peds residency followed by an Peds EM fellowship more useful? Are the combined programs (with their total of 6 spots for all 3), more competitive than a straight EM program? If, by then, I am sure Peds-EM is what I want to do, would it make sense? Are more combined programs planning to open?
I know this is early, and I am not really seriously thinking about it, but in all of my free time over vacation, and after being questioned significantly by my curious parents, i was wondering if you guys could shed any light on these programs.
Thanks!
