My question is how different does this have to be from my actual EM personal statement. What sort of stuff should be included in this thing?

Thanks...

Different sort of question, but I guess related:

Has anyone run into problems with doing prelim or transition years at completely different hospital systems from their residency programs? Are there any crazy funding/salary issues involved? Is it any easier to do your intern year at the hospital you plan to do your residency? Does this question make any sense?

I didn't change my personal statement for the TY programs. Writing one personal statement was bad enough as far as I'm concerned, and I didn't see any reason to pretend to be interested in anything other than EM.

Training years that don't lead to board eligibility (intern or transitional) don't count against the years Medicare gives for funding.
