Specialty Quiz - EM

[GobesN]

Well, I want to go EM and I took the SDN specialty quiz and got these results...I’m pretty happy with it. Who else wants to go EM?

Seems like you're a match for everything.

Well yes, that’s how these quizzes work. Gotta look at the percentages!

Given that Diagnostic Radiology and EM are almost polar opposites, I am not sure how to interpret these results.

I feel like it’s just a quiz and I am just using the high percentage of EM to justify me wanting to go into EM...as a fun thing (although I really do want to go into EM). I’m taking it with a grain of salt, like all quizzes like this, like everyone probably should. I posted to see who else wants to go into EM.

M4 going into EM. Just took this and got the EM #1. For undecideds this may be a good quiz, but if you have an interest and have shadowed in that setting, esp in EM, this quiz is loaded with confirmation bias. Not to say you shouldn't go into EM, but this is not a good metric.

Agreed. It’s just a quiz. I’ve shadowed an EM doc and I volunteer at an ED in triage. Like I said, I took it with a grain of salt...like others probably should. 🙂

Cool that you are going into EM! Any residency interview advice you’d like to share?

Get into med school. Do well in med school. Do well on your aways. Don’t be an awkward creep = profit

Highly recommend keeping an open mind in med school. For one, you will do better on rotations and will have a better app for EM (or anything else). Second, you never know what you’re going to fall in love with. The majority of med students change their mind. I came into med school with a decade of experience in the OR thinking I was going into something like surgery or gas, and even just my first year in med school I’m already in love with a completely different specialty.
