What happens next?!

[uscanmd]

Hello everyone, I am not a med school student yet, but I was trying to do a bit of research regarding a physician's career. My question is, after one graduates from med school and completes residency in EM, and gets a job in the emergency department of a hospital, are there any further career advances possible? I'm a little confused about how all these recidencies/fellowships work. As an ED physician, what sub-specialties can I train for (fellowship) that can be used/applied in the ED??

please clarify if you can, thnx

Usually a nice car, and a yearly well-earned vacation.

One of my EM preceptors said, "You spend the first half of your life trying to get into medicine, and the second half trying to get out."
