Hi all,
I am currently a fourth year med student interested in Peds ER. It seems like there are two routes to get there, either peds-> peds ER or ER-> peds ER. I've heard that the ER -> peds ER is less competitive, but I'm curious if finishing a fellowship via this route will afford the same work opportunities/flexibility once you're finished with training? I heard that ER trained was considered inferior and was limiting, but after looking at some fellowships, realized that some were willing to take EITHER peds or ER trained, for the same fellowship. Anyone out there know the scoop?
