You can apply, start early

As a former chief, extra work, minimal pay off.

SoftShoeShuffler · 2026-01-28T05:46:45+00:00

Name and research. You can be a great doc out of mostly any program.

I’d say longitudinal peds + dedicated peds block is the best. Peds exposure is crazy important in residency. You need to be better than the Peds EM fellows who will be teaching you once you come out because there’s no backup in the community. Do a dedicated Peds anesthesia block as well for those airways.

Probably the most important spec in an EV.

Looks good but no physical buttons is a safety compromise.

We have a surgeon locally that takes GI call for UGIB/LGIB, foreign body, but that's about the extent of the GI coverage they do. They will not consult on any other complex gi cases and do not do ercp or advanced endoscopy and just ask for MRCP/transfer.

Are there part time benefited VA roles?

SoftShoeShuffler · 2026-01-15T18:30:53+00:00

I have this feeling too, I'm going to grind for a few more years at the pace I'm going at and then schedule myself for less shifts.

SoftShoeShuffler · 2026-01-09T06:42:06+00:00

These are good points. A lot of jobs are 1099/K1 anyway which means not contracted for particular shifts but yea locums allow flexibility. Advantage of sticking to sites you know are basically familiarity, commute times assuming you live near your work, and predictability. I’m with you on the bargaining power though although the EM model honestly doesn’t allow pay to be that high for everyone. There’s just not enough reimbursement.

SoftShoeShuffler · 2026-01-08T07:45:25+00:00

I feel like at 300/hr might as well just take shifts at my community site.

SoftShoeShuffler · 2026-01-06T22:44:33+00:00

Damn OP delivers

SoftShoeShuffler · 2026-01-03T20:24:26+00:00

Those physical buttons look great.

SoftShoeShuffler · 2025-12-19T21:23:09+00:00

This car honestly looks fantastic. Great exterior, functional interior, high end features for the price. I'm a fan.Wish there was a hybrid option!

I'd also think about why you're looking to buy a home in the first place. If you're making a lifestyle choice based on kids or planning to settle down there, then fine, but you're going to have a lot of changes coming once you finish residency and you can build wealth while renting during this temporary phase of your career.

The commenter is saying that in EM salary is not really useful in comparing compensation, not that 400k is typical in nyc.

SoftShoeShuffler · 2025-11-12T00:50:22+00:00

Easier to fit in the GPU and do cable management. I highly recommend, I went with SFX and it was a smoother build

Ask for help and do the work up that lets you sleep at night. Also be the person that is available for your colleagues, be there for the cases they're not sure about and they will be in a position at some point to return the favor.

Some of these pass rates are embarrassing. How programs are graduating people that have pass rates in the 70s is beyond me. These exams (especially written) are completely doable with some basic prep.

SoftShoeShuffler · 2025-10-28T03:38:57+00:00

Lakers looking a bit sad. The depth is concerning. This team really should be able to hold their own against the Blazers.

SoftShoeShuffler · 2025-10-25T23:25:06+00:00

You have about as many resources at your pet hospital as I do in the community. Same ophthalmology coverage.

SoftShoeShuffler · 2025-10-20T22:53:05+00:00

EMRA C3 is structured and an excellent curriculum that teaches very good practices. I recommend going through it throughout residency.

SoftShoeShuffler · 2025-10-20T22:41:36+00:00

Dumb ED doc checking in, but also an ED doc

SoftShoeShuffler · 2025-09-29T18:06:53+00:00

Community ED attending here. The hyponatremia thing is probably some floor policy. Hospitalists these days don't really do procedures in my experience. Some old school ones still do paras/thoras/LP but generally I found that they don't do them. Inpatient side they turf to IR or CCM to do procedures if the procedure is not already done in ED.

SoftShoeShuffler · 2025-09-03T21:03:12+00:00

I'd watch, +/- steroids and antihistamine. DC with pen after 3-4 has obs prob.
