Posting an ad for a new program in a thread about the negative impact of all the new programs is next level

It definitely got plenty of attention.....which is the point of advertising.

Goes to show how many current EM physicians care nothing for the specialty.

LOL "amazing new program"

It's a 3rd tier community hospital on Long Island that truthfully is NOT appropriate for an EM residency.

This just is not true because while the program is new, it is high quality and serves as a tertiary receiving facility for the Northwell system. If you continue to feel otherwise, my messages are open.

But does it matter how good it is if graduates aren't gonna be able to find jobs? How about these places start hiring new grads instead of getting free labor? As if nyc doesn't have enough residencies already. Compare it to LA county.....

The need is for cheap/free labor for the hospital and all those tasty CMS dollars attached to a residency.

That’s really what it is. Why hire BCEM or even NPs when you can get PAID to hire residents who will work their butts off for you.

Peds EM seems to still be a decent market but typically pays lower than adult EM.

Peds-PEM (6 years) is the way to go if you don't want to see adults and want to work in an academic tertiary Children's Hospital and will be the gold standard from their perspective.

EM/Peds (5 years) or EM-PEM (5-7 years) is the advisable route to go if you the above doesn't apply to you. Far more job opportunities and more money. The community setting will generally look at the two as equivalent. Most academic centers will look at the two as equivalent. The combined route is broader clinical training and more flexibility to change to career paths down the road. The EM-PEM route may open a few doors at academic institutions (some don't hire EM/Peds), lets you be a PEM program director, and generally a little easier (since you're a fellow part of the time instead of a resident).

The majority of people interested in PEM who can enjoy seeing adults are best served by the EM-PEM route. People who only want to take care of kids are best of with the Peds-PEM route. People who value broad clinical training and career flexibility should explore the combined route.

Thank you! Very helpful 🙂
