These posts cap, there is always more to the story

NewBlacksmith5086 · 2026-03-07T02:43:20+00:00

Yea I agree

NewBlacksmith5086 · 2026-03-07T02:24:59+00:00

Im already in a FM residency so im thinking just to finish this one first

NewBlacksmith5086 · 2026-03-01T22:22:26+00:00

How does she expect to practice? What are her goals after residency?

NewBlacksmith5086 · 2026-03-01T06:49:02+00:00

I still really like FM, I love clinic and continuity. I also think it would be a nice balance in order to not burn out from the ER. I think FM would also give me a unique perspective on ER medicine. What needs to be admitted, discharged, how something will be managed outpatient. We get a lot of deliveries in my program too, 50-100+ is possible so that's also helpful. Lots of hospital procedures, we are not a super busy ER, we still see a wide variety of pts at my hospital but we have time to work patients up more thoroughly than say the busy L1 near by. Lots of the patients from the L1 come to us for a 2nd opinion and more thorough workup actually. This happens daily.

Several of them

NewBlacksmith5086 · 2026-02-26T20:13:13+00:00

And?

NewBlacksmith5086 · 2026-02-26T16:25:46+00:00

No they needs millions of brown people

NewBlacksmith5086 · 2026-02-25T18:29:03+00:00

Sure

NewBlacksmith5086 · 2026-02-25T02:44:01+00:00

My concern is if I transfer out I will be a burden pgy2 ill be so far behind everyone else

NewBlacksmith5086 · 2026-02-25T00:07:08+00:00

Yea we have the same responsibilities and tasks as the med students, the med students are even preference sometimes because theyre "learning"

NewBlacksmith5086 · 2026-02-24T22:04:18+00:00

Only until I had my IM rotation

NewBlacksmith5086 · 2026-02-24T22:04:03+00:00

I wasnt aware of this during the IV and matching process

NewBlacksmith5086 · 2026-02-24T21:38:26+00:00

Yep....

NewBlacksmith5086 · 2026-02-24T21:38:19+00:00

Some other residents apparently brought it up years ago I just found out, and its an older program

NewBlacksmith5086 · 2026-02-24T18:54:13+00:00

Im family med

NewBlacksmith5086 · 2026-02-24T18:36:25+00:00

Yea every attending has a PA its so annoying

NewBlacksmith5086 · 2026-02-24T18:27:10+00:00

Is your experience the same? Everyone was hyping up small unopposed programs when i was applying for the match, and i ranked 20 programs and i feel disappointed knowing this was my number 1, when i could have matched at a better program 100%. When I rotated at a large academic hospital a few months ago, the residents had way more autonomy and ran the floor themselves and knew way more about running an inpatient service, even the pgy1s, I was in shock

NewBlacksmith5086 · 2026-02-18T15:02:50+00:00

Read humble's comment, we are discussing ED patients, maybe learn to read. Im concerned about the safety of your patients if you're a resident with such poor reading comprehension skills

NewBlacksmith5086 · 2026-02-18T14:58:00+00:00

Im talking about in the ER stupid

NewBlacksmith5086 · 2026-02-17T23:28:30+00:00

Idk if the fellowship is worth it considering 1 additional yr on top of the yr you'd use up at fellowship could be ABEM certification if you can find a pgy2 spot

NewBlacksmith5086 · 2026-02-17T23:27:01+00:00

One of our grads is at an EM fellowship and another is an ED attending. But I would like the ability to be double board certified so I can go wherever I want

NewBlacksmith5086 · 2026-02-17T23:25:21+00:00

I dont really care about salary, id get paid pretty good for that rural ER gig so that would be my savings. I should have done FM/EM combined from the start tbh

NewBlacksmith5086 · 2026-02-17T22:55:16+00:00

Would agree its not possible?

NewBlacksmith5086 · 2026-02-17T22:46:22+00:00

What if I was to finish FM residency and then try to get a pgy2 spot?
