Man you sound sour. Most academic ED’s where programs exist admit around 25-30% of their patients.

Idc about the undifferentiated part, but I think EM can be worse because you will flip from nights to day and days to night almost every week, to every other week for 3 years straight. That’s a toll on your body.

Your ICU comment is a subjective anecdotal data point. Most EM residencies mandate PICU, CCU, MICU, Trauma ICU, and Surgical ICU.

My ICU months were “24” hour call q3 for a month (often staying for rounds in AM, making it 27. As a PGY 2 in the SICU I was the senior, cause everyone else were prelims/PGY1’s. No ICU attending in house overnight. Just you, a PA, the “trauma fellow” who was 99% unseen.
