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

Mods must have gone to a 3 year non powerhouse residency
LOL "amazing new program"
It's a 3rd tier community hospital on Long Island that truthfully is NOT appropriate for an EM residency.
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.....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.
The need is for cheap/free labor for the hospital and all those tasty CMS dollars attached to a residency.
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.
