Hello all.
In looking to set up my away rotations fourth year (and hopefully narrow the list of programs that I plan to apply to for the match), I was wondering if some residents could speak on how the trauma surgery portion of their curriculum works at their EM residency.
I have seen that there is a good deal of variation with respect to how this works.
NOTE: ***Let me preface this by saying that I am not like the tons of medical students obsessed with trauma and judging EM programs by that yardstick. I would prefer to have my trauma surg experience be participating in/helping to run traumas in the ED and managing patients in the trauma ICU or on floors rather than being in the OR for hours on end.***
Thanks all.
