One of my prelim colleagues is looking to opt out of MGH gas and look for something more with people interaction.

I think he is judging things way too fast, but I probably agree with not going to MGH (rather stay in the midwest like myself).

Is this kind of stuff even possible with ER? I see them eye-to-eye in type of care versus checking blood sugar diaries, but wonder if EM programs welcome anesthesia-type.

Input from people who have been involved in such a process.

A guy in my program had been an anesthesiology resident at UCSF and came into EM.

I knew of someone who switched from Ortho to EM.

I know people who swtiched from medicine, optho, surgery, ENT, urology, ortho, PMR and OBGYN.

Anesthesia is very welcome, I know a few people who are double boarded (grandfathered into EM).

Spots always open up, programs expand, keep your ears open.
