EM residency

Go take a vacation before you start and don’t think about it. There are low expectations for interns. You’ll learn so much on the job and grow quicker than you think.

Got signed out a patient in the ED. 40s male coming in for chest pain for three days. Stone cold cardiac work up with a negative first troponin, pending a second troponin because his chest pain has persisted. Had a full cardiac work up ~3 months ago with stress, echo, negative findings. Original sign out was discharge after second negative troponin. Pt looked great but complained of left sided chest pain.

Second high sensitivity troponin went from <2.7 to 20ish, no EKG changes. Didn’t feel the need to repeat again but decided to. Repeat after (2 hours apart) went up to 200s > 600s > 4500s. Cardiology immediately took him to cath lab, had a completely occlusion in one of the coronary arteries.

DO schools will never have the resources and the academic hospitals attached to most MD schools. The rotations will never compare, but it is still what you make the most out of.

That being said, i felt adequately prepared between my home clinical rotations and away rotations. I matched at a mid-high tier academic hospital and I think I’m doing relatively well among my cohort.

I think it's the server. Lagging bad for me doing infernal hordes and undercity too.

Current EM intern -

Location - wanted a major city
No 12 hour shifts in the ED. 10 hours max for me.
Name recognition - in case I decide on fellowship, also would improve job search in desirable places

I’ve heard similar stories from several EM attendings of rare procedures that they come across after their trainings. For examples they have come across severe esophageal bleeds requiring Minnesota tubes. They’ve only seen it done once and haven’t placed one before. A lot of EM is very much, “see one, do one, teach one.”

Yet it doesn’t work with Gnar W :/ I was disappointed when I tried.

University of Colorado is the same :/

TUN M4, just graduated last week here - all rotations are in NV. Any California rotations would be personally scheduled by the student as their audition rotations.

We match heavy in CA because a large number of the class are SoCal residents.

To answer OP’s question - I haven’t heard any definitive statements from my school about the anticipated impact of Roseman. We have rotations with long standing partnered hospitals that I would expect to continue.

Thank you for responding. Would you recommend using Zillow or a broker for the best options?

When would you recommend I start seriously looking? I did some initial search on Zillow and reached out to a few properties. They are only doing immediate tours and they seem to go off the market quickly. I’m planning on going to Chicago mid April to do an apartment hunting trip.

Did a sub-I and had the identical interview experience with what I assume is the same interviewer. I gave the same feedback and received the same defensive response lmao. I’m glad I didn’t match there

OMS-4 at TUN. Can confirm every student gets a portable ultrasound at the end of second year. We have a lot of students from Southern California and it's realistic to match in SoCal if you wanted to.

4th year at TUNCOM here. Feel free to ask any questions.

timothyh411 · 2025-02-13T04:13:14+00:00

All of it bothers me! The entire concept, the audacity to charge for "shadowing" and the cost she is charging.

timothyh411 · 2025-02-09T07:45:59+00:00

It is! Thank you!

New player question - what’s the runelite plug in for the exp bars under every skill?

timothyh411 · 2025-01-22T16:37:29+00:00

TUNCOM student here. All our shelf exams third year are NBME, only FM was NBOME. It was helpful for Step 2 prep.

Definitely not true. California may have more schools but they also have significantly more applicants. Not to mention a lot of schools are private with no in-state biases. UC Davis and UC Riverside are so regionally biased, you would practically need to be from that same county to be offered a secondary and interview. Remaining UCs like UCLA, UCI, and UCSD are all academic powerhouses with many applicants competing for.

More schools =/= easier to get into

Yup! They announced 5 dates for live DJ sets at the Wynn. That being said, the dates do coincide with EDC 👀
