That's hilarious. Now we'll have EM programs in Memphis, Nashville and Chattanooga. Rain down all those desperate residents willing to take bottom dollar for a FT contract and help drive the salaries down across the board for the rest of us. There's got to be some way to stop these residencies. What a disaster. That's private equity for you. Does anybody know anything about the Nashville hospital/program? Looks like most of the faculty are young and not too far out of residency.
First this is an hca residency. That should be a hard endpoint for most. Skyline is a level one trauma center. Standard hca nonsense. Attendings there make good money. I think highest paid CMG job in town. The pd got passed over at vandy, was pissed so left to this place. Centennial constantly turns over as the pay sucks and people hate the environment there. Otherwise I’m sure it’s all awesome. luckily for envision team and app as the local area graduates another 11 residents a year into a saturated job market they can rapidly cut wages.

Don’t forget Murfreesboro.

It’s a solid group of docs based on who I know there honestly. Dr. Wolfe easily could’ve been the PD at Vanderbilt if things had broken differently. The hospital has some legitimate pathology. They are a burn center now or will be shortly.

There is some discussion in Congress right now about limiting funding of residency programs. Although many established programs will suffer, I believe the HCA programs will eliminate their residencies if/when this occurs. I believe there is about a 50% chance of it passing when I discussed it with one of the legislators I had lunch with the other day. Keep your eyes open for a bill to be introduced soon. I believe most emergency physicians will find it very satisfying.

Are HCA programs that dependent on Medicare funding? I would think that, from their point of view, hiring residents is still incredibly cost effective (and that's not even considering the downstream effects of saturating the market).
 
"We are pleased to announce another sell out residency..."

Why are we even allowing these posts to happen? Mods???
It's not against Terms of Service for residencies to advertise new residencies. We have been requiring that they post in a single thread to eliminate a thread per residency.

For those that are against proliferation of new residencies: It doesn't matter if they advertise it on here. The bigger issue is its approval and not its advertisement.
 
Hospital Launching a Residency Program With First Students Arriving in 2023
Residencies will be offered in:
Internal medicine
Psychiatry
Emergency medicine
Family medicine
Obstetrics/gynecology

The program will help alleviate a shortage of health care providers in Polk County, said Drummond, who expressed hopes that the opportunity to work here will lead some of the students to practice here beyond their residency.
 

Harvard Affiliated Emergency Medicine Residency (HAEMR) at Mass General Brigham

Due to one of our end-of-year interns deciding to pursue training in another specialty, the Harvard Affiliated Emergency Medicine Residency (HAEMR) at Mass General Brigham has an unexpected PGY2 opening available immediately. HAEMR is a four-year, fully accredited program with 15 residents per year. Trainees primarily rotate at Massachusetts General Hospital (Level 1 Adult and Pediatric Trauma, Burn Center) and Brigham and Women's Hospital (Level 1 Trauma and Burn Center). Residents also spend time at Boston Children's Hospital and Newton Wellesley Hospital. Full details of our curriculum can be found on our website www.haemr.org.

Ideal applicants should:
The ideal applicant will have completed one year of emergency medicine. Applicants with training in other specialties will be considered.


Surprising to me that someone in another specialty could jump to a PGY2 EM slot.

Happened regularly in my program. It’s a name residency now but before EM became competitive we had one person a year or so leave or get kicked out. We took some surgery refugees, some people who did military internships who then were deployed to Yugoslavia, etc. Some of them turned out to be great doctors, others not so much.

HAHAHAHAA.

Those residents are out and far away from Polk County as soon as they can. Guar-an-teed.

The problem is every other specialty, at least the overarching organizations of each and some of the docs, are begging for expansion and EM is the only one that has dealt with the consequences of that. I feel there's so much pressure to expand from everyone else except EM I don't see how that could pass.
 
My guess is that this sort of thing could only fly at a four-year program (in order for someone to successfully meet graduation requirements)... which kind of tells you everything you need to know about the value of that fourth year.

We lost two residents at my program. The spots got filled.

Docs are decent but a bit deluded and hca is still hca.

Maybe. Maybe not.

They probably won't be able to get a decent job anywhere else in 3-4 years so they'll stay as an attending staff there for $75/hr and a sandwich every tuesday and learn to love it
 
Never heard of it

To you Florida has many meanings

To me it's the place I stood on a fire ant hill unknowingly during a family vacation at the age of 12 while posing for a family photograph and got back in the minivan with dozens of ants biting my leg

Half the time I see anything about florida I think of this

Don't claim to be a florida expert at all

Maaan. I got nailed by fire ants in my early days here, too.

I used to work in Polk County for a spell. It's bizarre. The job I had was great, though - because the other docs made it awesome. Pay was sub-par, but it was a strange setup where we had sovereign immunity thru a unique mechanism.

Then, CMG came in and ruined everything.
But if I were a young, graduating resident... no way would I want to stay anywhere nearby. In fact, I had quite the commute to get there and back and would often stay in a hotel in town.

What is longer, a spell or a minute?
 
A minute is a fixed unit of time measuring :60 seconds in length.

Spells are of unfixed duration.

Duh.

A minute is not fixed. It is variable and can last up to 3 months.

You didn't know that? Doh.

Sometimes people put the word "hot" before minute...as if to denote that the minute has a high degree of heat or temperature. It is still unclear to me how a unit of time can be hot or cold.

Spells though...always last a defined period of time. They last usually 2 minutes, exactly.

For example. I asked the grey bearded wizard who lives to the left of me in the Bay Area about spell duration. He yacked on and on about stuff that didn't make sense. Then a beer magically appeared in my hand. Two minutes later...POOF!...it disappeared.

I said "Hey Mr. Graybeard....can you make that beer last a hot minute?"

He stroked his beard and said he needs to look that up in his spell book. He wasn't sure.

I love how a spell lasts precisely two minutes, but a minute is undefined in duration.

🙂
You've never had someone respond "a hot minute" when you asked how long they've had their symptoms?

I give them this weird look when they do. Sometimes I say "literally...like just one minute?"

Then they give me a weird look.

Oh, I know the term "one hot minute". I use it frequently to describe something that takes "only a moment" and is then done.

I thought you were deliberately (and in excellent fashion, I'll add) trying to make the definition of "minute" and "spell" more obscure.
