Members don't see this ad.
 
Also UHS Southern California and Rutgers Health/Community. We have a pandemic going on and the ACGME still manages to approve two new EM residencies in the past month l0l
 
Members don't see this ad :)
Over what time period have these programs opened? Just a quick perusal of the list and several have been open for years and have already graduated classes.
 
Cartersville Medical Center is on that list. To my knowledge I don’t think they were approved. I don’t think they even have a PD and as of a few years ago, several of their physicians were FM-trained. I question the validity of the list.
 
Can make it 62:

Magnolia Regional Medical Center; Corinth, Mississippi

MSOPTI/Trinity West; Steubenville, Ohio. They might get off on a technicality because it’s basically a reconstituted OVMC/EORH program. Their accreditation was expedited after the closure and nearly the entire staff, PD/aPD, and faculty all came from OVMC.

The rest are for the most part correct. I was following this very closely as I applied. I'd say maybe 2-4 more of those are in flux, but the rest is legit.

ACEP and AAEM came together against low-level providers/noctors.

Why not this?

Already many posts from graduating Floridians that they can't find anything. They'll flood the rest of the small amount of spots left across the country. Texas is doing it's part too.

Lets say there's a 1/3 error rate and there's only 40 new programs in the last few years. How many more signs do we all need that it's time to batten down the hatches (in every sense of the phrase)?

Until recently we've always had the leverage of there being a limited supply of us relative to huge demand. Now, in the last few months-years most of us have felt the pain of that brightest light in our favor significantly fade or go out completely.

If one hasn't already, now is the time for every EM doc to get their financial house in order, solidify as decent a gig (or ideally gigs) as possible, and start working on niches/non-EM skills to diversify work options moving forward. Your future self will thank you.

Because it means more potential members, and thus more due$, for them. Perhaps there's a chance AAEM will speak out against this. Highly unlikely ACEP ever would though given who butters there bread. And the cat is already out of the bag. And even if ACEP/AAEM made a statement would it change anything? You'd probably need ABEM to lean on the ACGME to make any headway against this (and in doing so ABEM would also be working to deny itself more testing money$$$).

The urologists know how to control their numbers. Their training is just a long and arduous enough path to turn most folks away and their leadership is super strong on preventing too many training spots from being made. I get the sense that if HCA approached a urologist and offered him/her a PD spot to start up a residency at HCA Little Sisters of the Poor Health System then other urologists would find that potential HCA PD and cysto him/her to death.
 
This is going to be the death of EM. Too many fresh-faced new grads hungry for jobs with $300,000 in debt and a spouse/baby, willing to work for $200/hr supervising an army of Jenny McJennyson, FNP-BCs.

SDGs vanishing left and right for the past 10+ years.

In the desirable areas you'll be making $150/hr. Just wait.

I'm about to jump ship and go overseas.

This is already right now.

I expect 160-170/hr non-desirable and ~120 Devner, Portland, SoCal etc.

Oh trust me, I know. Austin is $170-200 per hour. My friend in Chicago makes $190 at a busy trauma center with Cook County malpractice environment looming and the countiest of county hospital patients.

USACS in Colorado was offering $140/hr 2 years ago.

$150/hr is going to be "good money" in desirable places soon.

You hit the nail on the head here. I’m not sure that it matters if ACEP/AAEM/AMA/CIA disapproves of the number of graduates. They don’t control the process. ABEM would be the organization in the best position to put leverage on the ACGME, but I wouldn’t expect them to for the above reasons.

ABEM can't do anything and has no incentive. They've been holding our oral boards hostage since May, with no plan articulated 4 months later. Thus, their imperative is making money. I'm sure they'll charge $1500 to do virtual oral boards via Zoom and fail us if we don't wear a dress shirt and tie in our own living rooms.
 
Lol HCA we have no one to blame but ourselves to many EM doc want to be “academic” so we face the consequences. It’s short sided blaming this on medstudents.

You don’t see derm doing this when they could easily populate derm residencies and med students are most eager for them.
 
To make matters worse, the number of jobs on EDPhysician has already decreased from 986->816 in the past 5 months or so. How much of it is due to COVID vs being slammed by new grads I don’t know. Same with Practicelink, 856->757 total jobs
 
Others in the Works:
St Lukes Anderson (Easton, PA)
Capital Health (Trenton, NJ - Envision)
Inspira Medical Center (Woodbury, NJ - Team Health)
Community Medical Center (Toms River, NJ - Envision)
 
I can't believe what I'm reading.

Ocala regional.
Oak Hill.

These are cow towns.

Ugh.

Don't get me started on the PA ones.
 
The list includes hospitals that are currently in the process of opening new EM programs.

Envision has been advertising for Cartersville for the past year and according to their website they filled the program director position.
 
Aaem and saem need to get on these particular guys to stop this madness

But seriously.

Oak Hill?

I interviewed there when I interviewed with every job in a 2 hour radius of Tampa.

I was a graduating senior.

I walked out of that interview and said to myself: "No effing waaaay, duuude."

St. Rita's? In Lima, Ohio?!


I used to drive down there from Toledo to go teach the new medics ACLS.

It's... Super Cow Town.

This is the death knell for EM.

Not a "new" program. Was a DO em program that transitioned to acgme accred
 
so as an MS4 going into emergency medicine, what can I do to prepare? I was already preparing for a possible ICU fellowship because of midlevel encroachment, but now job saturation

I know people who did moonlighting at St Rita’s as year 3 EM residents as little as 3 years ago.

serious question: if they were so desperate for coverage that recently and couldn’t staff it without hiring residents, who exactly is doing the teaching?!?!

They probably hired a couple of 'residency-trained' midlevels.

This is false. Oak Hill was never a DO program. Opened the same time as many of the other onslaught of HCA residencies

They were my first interview last year. Probably the most disorganized interview day I had. On the bright side, they were assembling their new high dollar ultrasound machine in the room where we were having didactics. Didn't like being talked down to by one of the second years. Overall wasn't impressed.

Dude. You And I "know each other" on here.

I can't imagine this!!!

It was my "first" interview in 2012. I left that interview and said to myself:

"Okay. Okay. They told you that you would go on interviews... And you would not want to be there."

I walked away.

I shook.

Unfortunately the Psych forum is also talking about NP’s and Social Workers cutting into the pie too. Also now the VA is looking into letting Psychologists prescribe meds...

You guys still have an out. Psychiatrists can always hang up their own shingle, do tele psych, sub specialize in things that have a payoff (child psych), etc.

Agreed. The overhead costs for psych to go into pp is as low as it gets. They certainly face challenges from NPs, social workers, psychologists who are all vying for a piece of that pie. But demand for mental health is huge and as long as it's easy for individual psychiatrists to go solo they'll always be able to dodge and weave their way out of crappy employment setups moreso than probably anybody else in the house of medicine.

Isn't there saturation in IM as well with mid levels taking over primary care and hospitalist positions?
Click to expand...

i’m a hospitalist (nocturnist). I’m shocked at the pay rates some posters claim for EM in certain areas. Is it really true you might get offered 140/hr somewhere? To do ER work????

I get rates between 200-300/hr for moonlighting in my area for admitting or night shifts.

and half the time i’m sitting on my butt watching tv or playing video games in a quiet call room while my ER buddies are slugging through 2-3 pt per hour downstairs

I don’t envy you guys at all.

i would have thought IM would be a poor choice given thousands of residencies but i suppose since half of all grads do fellowship and a quarter to primary care, it blows off a lot of pressure to keep the hospitalist market stable thus far

$300/h for hospitalist is an outlier, not the norm. You frequently post this comparisons of the equivalent of >90th percentile hospitalist to average/low numbers for other specialties. I also believe you posted screenshots of your investment accounts. Kind of weird. Wonder if its an inferiority complex thing if you feel the constant need to post your financial successes on here. Regardless, hospitalist is not "safe" by any means, very saturated in my area, 120-140/h for days is the average.

Where do you live?

Any suggestions/thoughts on EM vs. IM regarding job market and what are your thoughts on the future of midlevels in IM? Will we see a situation IM where midlevels are hired more, less need for physician oversite, leading to saturation of hospitalist and primary care positions?

While it's good to point out that $300/h is an outlier, I don't think it was appropriate to say the other poster has an inferiority complex for posting financial successes. Those kinds of posts are important for financial guidance
 
Add Plantation Florida to the list.

I’m from Plantation. I’ve been to west side medical center. The idea they could train even 1 EM resident a year is laughable.

They don’t have the volume or the acuity, let alone being like the 7th program in south Florida.

So stoked to graduate into the soon-to-be most over-saturdated market in the US.
