Doctor Tom Stein recently published his first book, Gratitude Is Not Enough, The True Story of a Belgian Family Forever Changed by a Band of American WWII Soldiers. The book focuses on the Remember Museum ‘39-‘45 in Clermont, Belgium that was opened by Marcel and Mathilde Schmetz, better known as the M&Ms by soldiers in a U.S. Army Company of the First Infantry Division who were briefly quartered on Marcel's family farm in December 1944 before the Battle of the Bulge. Marcel saved many of the items the soldiers left behind, what he calls “treasure,” and which became the core of this special collection dedicated to the Americans who helped liberate Belgium from four years of Nazi occupation. The Museum, which is adjacent to the M&M's home, contains the requisite "stuff" of a museum, but importantly, tells the soldiers' stories, many of whom became lifelong friends with Marcel and Mathilde. I've read Gratitude is Not Enough and can tell you it's a powerfully written account of what the people of Clermont endured during World War II and the M&Ms efforts to preserve its history in their museum. I highly recommend this book to you. Dr. Tom Stein is a retired Emergency Physician, as well as a retired Colonel in the U.S. Army Medical Corps. He completed his Emergency Medicine Residency at Darnall Army Community Hospital, Fort Hood, Texas and served thirty-eight years in the Army and Army Reserves. Emergency Medical Services and Disaster Medicine are his sub-specialties.

What comes to mind when you think about "self-image"? Our self-image essentially consists of the labels we attach to ourselves, some based on reality and others not so much!

In 2017, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) revised its Common Program Requirements to support trainees and faculty by mandating programs to provide dedicated wellness resources and education. Emergency medicine may benefit from this change due to high burnout rates within the specialty. However, the current state of wellness interventions in emergency medicine (EM) residency programs has not yet been well described. Understanding current practices is necessary to assess unmet needs and inform the development and evaluation of future interventions that aim to improve trainee wellness.
Prior studies have demonstrated that EM applicants consider geography as well as modifiable/non- modifiable program factors. Less attention, however, has been paid to underrepresented groups. Additionally, the prevalence and characteristics of “red flags,” or factors that may lead an applicant to lower a program's rank or not rank it at all, remains unknown in EM.
Dr. Ronnie Shalev completed her medical degree at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center and her Emergency Medicine Residency at Drexel University College of Medicine. She is a board-certified Emergency Medicine doctor whose high-pressure job sucked the life out of her, leaving her weary, burned out, and unable to enjoy her family and day-to-day life. Because she was paid well, she felt bound by the “golden handcuffs,” and saw no end in sight. Through passive real estate investing, she was able to quit her grueling emergency room job and move into a less-demanding role at a medical device company. Now, she helps frustrated physicians who feel trapped earn income with passive real estate investments so they have more freedom and are not bound by their jobs.

How are IMGs navigating through the residency application process during COVID-19? Despite the constraints that this global phenomenon has presented, is there a possibility for you to use it to your advantage? Slated to start her Emergency Medicine Residency in June of 2021 at the University of California Davis Medical Center, Slovenian doctor Lara Zekar's success is proof of her mantra, "Impossible is not a fact - it's a dare." From the beginning of her medical journey and especially at the point where she decided she wanted to become a US Resident in Emergency Medicine, Dr. Zekar has moved with intention, determination and dedication toward her goal. She completed her medical degree at the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Medicine in 2018 and from there spent her time making pointed decisions which ultimately made her a very competitive candidate when applying for US residency. When asked to share her residency application story, Dr, Zekar notes that it indeed was a marathon and not a sprint. Here are a few of the highlights of her journey: She figured out that she was passionate about Emergency Medicine during one of her unofficial clinical rotations in the US. She started researching the steps that would be necessary to achieve this aspiration. Since she was one of the few Slovenians to have ever gone through this process, she faced significant obstacles, however, she used her resources to her advantage to combat them. During her 4th and 5th year of medical school, she studied for 9 months on and off for the USMLE exams for which she ended up scoring 258 and 269 for step one and step 2 respectively. She participated in a medical humanitarian mission to Kenya and ensured that even when she was not at school or at the hospital, she was staying active in the medical field through volunteering and externships. She decided to do unofficial rotations in Cardiology, Cardiothoracic Surgery and Emergency Medicine in order to attain Standardized Letters of Evaluation (SLOEs) which are a key requirement for Emergency Medicine residency applicants. She meticulously compiled a list of over 90 programs to which she would apply and land a whopping 6 interviews. As such, Dr. Lara encourages IMGs to: Be the most competitive candidate you can be, focus on getting the highest scores but still not neglecting the other parts of your holistic application. Be detailed, intentional and meticulous. Do not let the fact that it feels like all the odds are stacked against you stop you from trying to defeat the impossible.

This episode, #109, was previously recorded live with Dr. Jacinta Elder, Dr. Jessica Isom, and Dr. Nicole Rochester. The panel with these well-spoken doctors was prompted after we learned of the events leading up to the death of Dr. Susan Moore. How is it that in 2021, the roots of racial misconceptions affect us so deeply? Dr. Susan Moore's story is eye-opening especially as she recounts her experiences of prejudice from colleagues as she sought care. We needed to talk about this in order to prevent this from happening again. Not only did we cover the documented journey which Dr. Susan Moore traveled, we dived into medical racism, dehumanization of people of color, empathy, bias, dismantling healthcare and medical education as we know it, but most importantly, what can we do TODAY to create a positive outcome. Here are the biographies of the physician panel who took on this critical discussion: Dr. Jacinta Elder is a Board-Certified Internal Medicine physician who focuses her care on Geriatrics. Dr. Elder obtained her Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees at Howard University in Biology and Genetics respectively. She subsequently obtained her Doctor of Medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences in Washington DC. She has subspecialty training in hematology and oncology as well in which she studied cancer of the blood or leukemia as well as other more common cancers such as cancer of the breast, colon, and lungs. Dr. Elder has had a vast array of professional experiences both in academia and out in private practice. She has even spent some time at the Food and Drug Administration where she worked for a team involved in the approval of treatment for cancer. In addition to her current practice in Geriatrics, Dr. Elder has a passion for optimizing health and wellness with individual and group coaching in nutrition, mindfulness-based practices, and mindset mastery. ________________________ Jessica Isom, MD, MPH, is a board-certified community psychiatrist and Clinical Instructor in the Yale Department of Psychiatry.

She has continued to work with the Yale Department of Psychiatry residency program as a faculty track consultant leader for the Social Justice and Health Equity Curriculum. Her professional interests include working towards eradicating racial and ethnic mental health disparities, mitigating the impact of implicit racial bias on clinical care, and the use of a community-focused population health approach in psychiatric practice. Her anti-racism teaching highlights the history of medical racism, interpersonal challenges in interracial interactions and provides a language for naming and responding to racism at multiple levels. She currently is working as a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion consultant and facilitator for individuals, non-profit organizations, and private companies. ________________________ Dr. Nicole Rochester is a board-certified pediatrician, professional health advocate, TEDx, and keynote speaker, author, and the CEO of Your GPS Doc, LLC, an innovative company that helps individuals and their family caregivers navigate the healthcare system.

Dr. Tyndall assumed the role of the Interim Dean of the University of Florida College of Medicine on July 31st 2018. He is a Professor of Emergency Medicine and has been the Chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Florida College of Medicine since 2008. He is a graduate of the University of Maryland School of Medicine and the Emergency Medicine Residency at the University of Maryland. In addition, he received his Master's Degree in Health Services Management and Health Policy from Columbia University, NY. Prior to his recruitment to UF, Dr. Tyndall held academic appointments at Cornell and SUNY Downstate and served as a residency program director for emergency medicine. At UF, he has served on the board of directors of UF Health Shands at the University of Florida since 2010. He was the Chair of the Dean's council for diversity, inclusion and equity at the University of Florida from 2010-2018. He was also the senior medical school representative to the Council for Faculty and Societies at the Association of American Medical Colleges from 2013-2018. He was also named a 2018-2019 fellow of the Council of Deans of the AAMC. He is a member of the Board of Directors and Immediate Past President of the Florida College of Emergency Physicians and is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine Foundation.

He was most recently appointed to the role of Associate Vice President for Strategic and Academic Affairs at UF Health. As mentees, according to Dr. Adrian Tyndall, we must be bold in pursuing mentors. Today, Dr. Tyndall explains how mentorship is a bi-directional relationship: The mentee must actively show interest in the mentor and their areas of research, and in turn, this will activate the intrinsic motivation in that mentor to invest their time in the mentee. Simply put, it's all about give and take. On top of that, we'll learn how mentorship is helpful in self-reflection: All of us have blind spots, and we're able to achieve a “360 degree view” of our trajectory when we ask for guidance from mentors and peers. And Dr. Tyndall reminds us that if we look around and we don't like what we see, we have to have the courage to adjust our forward trajectory. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. Mentorship is a bi-directional relationship. As the mentee, we need to show our interest in the mentor and their work. In turn, that will activate a mentor's intrinsic motivation in the mentee. 2. As physicians, we need to know how to refuel our energy tank. Self-reflection is key, and seeking guidance from those around us will give us a 360 degree view of our journey. 3. There are four core values to live by in medicine (especially as a student): Self-reflection, balance, confidence, humility.

Session 113 Dr. Aaron Leetch one of the program directors at the University of Arizona for a combined residency in pediatrics and emergency medicine. It's actually a very rare residency program with only four programs in the country that offer this. Find out more about this, how it's different and much more! Dr. Leetch is the host of the Arizona EMCast. Also, check out all our other podcasts on Meded Media. Listen to this podcast episode with the player above, or keep reading for the highlights and takeaway points. [01:27] Interest in Combined Pediatrics and Emergency Medicine Aaron has always been certain he was going to be a pediatrician as he loves working with kids. He also liked the compassion of it. It was when he started working at one of the local ERs as a scribe that he felt torn between pediatrics and emergency medicine. He loved the acuity and multitasking aspects of emergency medicine. In fact, he likens it to waiting tables which he used to do. Then he met the program director at the University of Arizona who trained at the combined emergency medicine and pediatrics program in Baltimore and started the program there. He asked Aaron why he wanted to do both and thought it was everything he had wanted to do. After five years of doing the training program, he still loved every minute of it and knew it was the kind of thing he wanted to do for the rest of his life. Aaron has always been amazed at people being torn between two specialties that are very dissimilar. For some people, pediatrics and emergency medicine are not the same. But he explains that there are aspects of both sides that he really liked. Aaron later realized that his pediatric training would be applicable when he sees children in the emergency department. To help them navigate that system in the ED is incredibly helpful to the patient. [Related episode: What Does the Pediatric Residency Match Data Look Like?] [06:40] Traits that Lead to Being a Good Combined EM and Pediatrics Physicians You have to be patient considering that it's a five-year training. Be sure that you're willing to do five years since you can just do emergency medicine and still trained to see children. The first thing he looks for in applicants is why they want to do both programs. He also wants to know people have considered what they want to do after they're done with training. There are lots of EDs that can't afford to hire somebody who's only certified to see children and they need to see both. [Related episode: Advice From an Emergency Medicine Residency Director] [08:38] Getting Exposure for the Program Considering that there are only currently four programs doing this kind of training in the country, they're hoping to gain visibility through doing medical student podcasts. Plus, they also get the opportunity to talk to people about this. The most common for pediatric/emergency medicine is doing a peds or emergency medicine residency and then doing a fellowship. This is great as long as this is what fits with what you want to do. However, if you want to be a rural doctor and you want the general pediatrics knowledge or the subspecialty time with pediatric nephrology or neonatal ICU, you wouldn't be able to get this by just doing an emergency residency and the pediatric fellowship for two years. It would not give you the same level of intensity if you want to be a broader trained person rather than narrowing and being a specialist. [10:50] Types of Patients The types of patients you see depends on where you go. In Aaron's case, he does 60% peds and 40% adults. You have the potential to work in any emergency medicine department across the country. If you want to work in a pediatric-specific emergency department, that depends on the needs of that emergency department. You could open up your own clinic if you wanted to or work in places that need a general pediatric physician as a hospitalist. You can do a fellowship on the emergency side or on the pediatric side. Or you can do both. In their program, they've had people who did fellowships in pediatric critical care, simulation and medical education, toxicology, sports medicine, and some other ones. You've got a lot of opportunities when you're done assuming you keep your options opened for geography. Make sure you've got a good idea of where you're headed. As fellowships are becoming more common after residency training, you need to be able to stand out. However, you don't want to do this just to stand out because it's a long chunk of your life to spend. There are better things you can do. But it does help and it gives you a different philosophy for how you're approaching things. [Related episode: 5 Traits Patients Want Their Doctors to Have] [14:20] Trend in Medicine for More Specialized Specialties If you have an idea of where to go, then you need to email that institution and ask what you need to do to get the job. That said, there are plenty of places that are still clamoring to get somebody who is a specialist and wants to take ownership of pediatrics. There's a lot of literature suggesting that people who have done the pediatric EM fellowship stay in large academic centers. They don't go out into the community and work as they had hoped. In fact, many have now questioned whether centralizing everything at the children's hospital is still the best way to go. Aaron feels that if you've got extra training, you feel more comfortable seeing children. You feel more prepared to see a really sick kid out there because that's where the majority of these kids are going to end up going. For their program, Aaron explains you have to have the pediatric experience. You've seen kids, especially the really chronically ill kids, and the tech-dependent kids. You've seen them in the clinic. You've seen them at the subspecialist's office. You've seen them when they're really sick in the ICU. You've got a background on how to take care of children that you can pull from. And then you've got procedural competency and that critical care emergent time-management mindset from emergency medicine. The other five years of training just becomes a part of you. [18:30] How to Know If You Have the Procedural Competence If you can get any experience during medical school, you will decide very quickly whether you love procedures or you don't. There are a handful of environments where residents and attendings tell you how they've walked into X environment and they knew they're home. For some people, that's the O.R. For some, that's the clinic or the ICU or the ED. If you have the opportunity to do any kind of three-week elective or some experience ahead of time, do it. Email a physician and ask if you can shadow them even just for one shift or overnight or for one time that will allow you to get the best exposure. A lot of what they do in pediatric emergency medicine is to convince their kids are going to be okay as well as a lot of return precautions. If you don't like doing this then pediatric emergency medicine is probably not great for you. You're not constantly having critical children coming in. Regardless of what you're considering, try to get some experience early and that will help you make your decision. [21:00] Work/Life Balance and Taking Shifts Aaron still gets to have a life outside of the hospital. But he believes you have to make time for it. He makes it a point to take time out apart from doing anything related to work to recuperate and refresh. With shift work, you've got to work 365 and somebody's got to work the holidays. Somebody's got to work the overnights. So you adjust to it. And if you're considering emergency medicine of any kind, you have to determine whether you can function at 2 am. And are you somebody that someone wants to be around at 2 am? Or do you turn into a werewolf that nobody wants to work with? You have to make it a point to do something that is not medical after work in order to restore yourself. At their program, they've got a handful of people that just do nights. They're offered a pay differential so you can make a little more. But they would usually split between mornings and evenings. The morning shift can start as early as 6 am. They work 9-hour shifts. And it can start as late as 5 pm and you get off at 2 am. But in an emergency, you get off when everything is done, especially as a resident when you're still trying to learn your flow and your management. But you will get better over time and things will get tolerable. As a resident, everybody rotates through in a circadian fashion so that you do as much as you can. But you do a lot more evening shifts because that's when the patients come in. Even if your sign out is done is at 4 and your relief comes in at 4, then you're not done for another 30 minutes so that the transition of care is appropriate. And this is expected. Aaron gets off when he's supposed to probably 60% of the time. Especially in pediatrics, most of the kids they see are not critically sick. So when he works his adult shifts, he always buffers knowing that a lot more adults are going to be critically sick and they're going to need his time. But you're never really prepared for that stuff. [Related episode: Balancing Family Life with Being a Premed and Medical Student] [26:45] The Training Path If you want to do pediatric emergency medicine, you can do a three-year pediatric residency and the three-year pediatric emergency medicine fellowship. You can do a three or a four-year emergency medicine residency. Then another two or three years in pediatric emergency medicine fellowship. At their school, they have a five-year program where you have to fulfill all of the requirements for emergency medicine and all of the requirements for general pediatrics. They're doing this concurrently. They do somewhere between 2 and 6 months in the emergency department doing trauma surgery, ICU at the VA, emergency medicine, anesthesia. Then you'll flip and do 2-6 months of general pediatrics, neonatal ICU, pediatric pulmonology, inpatient wards, clinic. Then you keep flip-flop back and forth until you reach your five years. Aaron likens their training to children growing up in a bilingual household. They don't necessarily keep the same verbal milestones compared to a kid growing up in a single language household. They're learning two different words, two different idioms, and two different ways to say the same thing. But once they do, they catch up pretty quickly and they speak two languages. With their program, they're going to teach you how to speak pediatrician and how to speak emergency physician. Although, it takes a little bit longer. It's a different growth curve of how you're going to progress along in your understanding of both specialties. But once you do, you're going to catch up. You may even surpass some of the residents from either the emergency medicine or the pediatrics program itself because you now speak two languages. [29:45] How to Be Competitive for This Program The four programs that offer the combined residency include the University of Arizona, University of Maryland in Baltimore, Indiana University in Indianapolis, and LSU in Louisiana. There are only 8 or 9 spots in country. Aaron says that you have to consider if you're crazy enough to do five years. You have to love this enough that you want to do five years To make yourself competitive, have a backup either in pediatrics or emergency medicine. Some people choose both. And even if you don't match into one of these spots, you can still do emergency medicine and a fellowship or pediatrics and a fellowship. They've even had several residents that graduated from one program and then re-entered the match and did the other ones. So they did six years to do the same. Well, it's not quite the same because you're taking it in chunks instead of intermingling it. Aarons recommends that you strengthen your application packet towards whichever is going to be your backup. So if your backup is emergency medicine, then strengthen your packet towards emergency medicine. Show that you're going to be a good emergency medicine resident. Doing away rotations is great as well as interview rotations to have a good idea of what's there. Do pediatric emergency medicine or pediatric ICU as they're going to be helpful whether you do the combined EM/peds program, EM on its own, or pediatrics on its own. Both are going to intersect with peds/EM and peds-ICU. This will help strengthen your packet for the combined program and for whatever your backup is going to be. [33:40] Applying as a DO and How to Stand Out in Rotations Two of their residents at their program are osteopaths and they're fantastic. If you're applying to a place that already has unfavorable opinions set on osteopaths, go for it if you want to be the trailblazer and try to rotate there. Otherwise, consider if it's really the best place for you if you're not going to be viewed as an equal with the other residents. Aaron adds that you can strengthen your application just as you would for any other place. But if you feel like that may be a hindrance for you, doing an audition rotation is a great way to show how good you are. To stand out at these rotations, you have to show initiative and that you can work well with a team. They want to see that you've done some of the work on your own. There's also the 2 am test. Are you somebody they want to be working with at 2 am? You have to be reliable. A fit in personality is also important to consider. Their program wants to see that you fit well. So you have to consider whether you're a good fit at a certain program and determine if you like them. [Related episode: The One Thing You Need to do to Stand Out as a Premed] [37:30] What He Wished He Knew That He Knows Now Aaron wished he had done a much better job with self-care and making sure that he took time (that he now takes) for family, for friends, for hobbies, and for things that help maintain his sanity. Although residency is not as a brain-drain that medical school can be where you feel like you're drinking from the firehose, it is time and energy-taxing. You have to put effort into the things that you want to be around when residency is around like family and friends. Because you can't just push pause and come back in 3 to 5 years and feel like everything is still going to be the same. [38:50] The Most and Least Liked Things What Aaron likes the most about the combined residency is that they are people who like to have fun and have a broad perspective of medicine. What he likes the least about the pediatric emergency medicine is that when it's bad, it's really bad. They deal with cases like child abuse, pediatric sexual assault, drownings, SIDS, and cancer diagnosis. Often, those will happen in the ED. What he realized that really affected him is that they can't help everyone. They want to take care of everybody that's there. They want to try to help every person that comes into the emergency department. But there are so many people that come in with complaints that they can't help. He tries to provide hope for people in a hopeless situation when they come in at midnight on a Saturday. For him, this is frustrating when you can't offer what they want. [42:35] The Overlap of Pediatric Care and Adult Emergency Medicine Especially during residency, you spend a lot of time in the clinics and on the wards. They even joke around that kids are not little adults but adults really are just big kids. Aaron says he can do a lot of the same things that he does with children. He's able to apply some of that to adults especially among the 20-year-old's where the overlap is not quite there yet. In pediatrics, one of the first questions they ask themselves is whether the patient needs an IV. In adults, before they even get their chief complaint, they've already gotten an IV. They're getting a dose of antibiotics and they're on their way to the CT scanner. All those being said, he gets to have a different perspective. If he had to do it all over again, he'd still be a combined EM pediatric physician. And even his wife just recently told him that if he had to do it all over again, she would still support him all the way through. [45:25] Final Words of Wisdom To those interested in getting into this specialty, try to get experience in both emergency medicine and pediatrics because they want to train people in both. They want you to be a pediatrician. They want you to be an emergency physician. Then they're going to train you on how to be a pediatric emergency physician. Make sure you really want to do both because the last thing they want for somebody is to be halfway through and say they hate this. They want you to go in with eyes wide open.

Session 107 Emergency medicine residency training requires lots of interpersonal skills. Dr. David Snow has been out of training for 6 years now. Today, he tells us more about the acuity, variety, and steep learning curve in EM. Meanwhile, be sure to check out all our other resources on Meded Media. Listen to this podcast episode with the player above, or keep reading for the highlights and takeaway points. [01:15] Interest in Emergency Medicine Coming to the end of the third year in medical school, David was choosing between surgery, psychiatry, and emergency medicine. Ultimately, there were things about EM that appealed to him. [Related episode: What is Emergency Medicine?] [04:22] Traits that Lead to Become a Good EM Physician When you get to a shift, it can get as busy as any other time during any other shifts in their life. They sometimes work at 5 am and 11 pm and it doesn't matter what comes before that. They just have to be ready as they walk in the door. This is not unique to EM at all, but it is unique across all the fields of EM. As an EM doctor, you have to understand the unpredictable nature of the specialty. Additionally, interpersonal skills are important as you could be speaking to patients from all walks of life. Alongside, you'd also be networking with clerks, nurses, medical students, and division chairmen. You have to be able to work with the challenges of that environment and do so with a smile on your face. David has been evaluating residency applications for 7 years now. A few years ago, they added a new piece to the application for emergency medicine called the Standardized Letter of Evaluation. In any of the rotations you do, you will have one of these letters written for you. This is a movement away from the Letter of Recommendation that students ask from an EM physician. It compares you to applicants from the current cycle and the previous year. The letter also lists a set of attributes that talk about your success within those attributes as well as your work ethic, professionalism, etc. There are also specific pretext parts to the document where people speak very candidly about the applicant. Emergency physicians are looking for the same things. They somewhat know what to write. [Related episode: Looking at Emergency Medicine Match Data and Surveys] [10:50] Pass-Fail System Evaluating Students David thinks there are so many facets to a pass-fail system. He believes it could be hard from the student's standpoint as a sub-average USMLE Step 1 score can be very detrimental to an applicant. Programs can use filters based on USMLE or COMLEX scores and that one score can be very hard for them to move past to ensure the reviewer doesn't get stuck on that. There's no recommendation an applicant needs to have taken Step 2. But if the Step 1 score is below the mean, it's encouraged that they take Step 2 so they can work past that. This being said, it adds a lot of pressure to all of it. [Related episode: What Step 1 Score or Level 1 Score Should I Try to Get?] [13:40] How to Stand Out in Rotations David recommends getting in touch with EM faculty and to start interacting with them as early as possible so they can start asking questions. Most medical schools that have EM departments have some way to get shadow shifts with EM faculty. Nevertheless, he doesn't think there should be pressure for students to get in front of PD during their second or third year. You just have to do what has to be done to figure out that EM is for you. If meeting with a program is the way to do that then fine. But don't feel like you need to do that in order to bolster your application. Ultimately, just enjoy your rotations during third year as your learnings are all going to be very useful for your future training. Donald underlines understanding the key attributes of an EM physician. They are hardworking. They don't complain about the work before them. They try to enjoy as much as they can. It's important to have that positive outlook and the desire to come in and take care of patients. Be able to come in wiith those attributes without trying to be held back by your nerves. Understand you're still a student and not a resident yet so your level of knowledge is obviously below the residents. Donald notices how many students come in during rotations where they feel this need to prove they know what they're doing. He advises students to step back from this. ED is challenging itself. Just find your team and enjoy your time. Anything you can do to help out a resident would be golden. They would thank you and love you for that. Try not to think about the importance of the rotation and just be yourself. Be that motivated and driven medical student on the rotation who's there to learn and work. Being so focused on proving and performing would only limit yourself from feeling what it might be like to be that person in the field. [24:55] The Biggest Misconceptions About Emergency Medicine Many students are drawn into EM by trauma and acute resuscitation. Although this is a huge part of what they do, it's far from being a true EM clinical life. It's a big part but it's not a huge part of an EM physician's life. Another misconception about Emergency Medicine is the idea of burnout. David believes that so much of this is born out of the habits formed during residency. You might do all of that right and end up in a job that makes you very unhappy but then you must change jobs because if you don't, you'll fit in that burnout spectrum. David clarifies it's not a false label as this is what's being shown on the survey. But he doesn't think this should preclude you or stop you from going into a career in emergency medicine. [29:20] The Training Path What differentiates EM from other programs is that by Day 1, you may have the sickest patients of your residency training. In most programs, the system is set up to where you might not be going to an operating room or ICU during your first year. They would still build up your knowledge and experience before you're exposed to that. In emergency medicine, the learning curve is steep. It can be truly overwhelming in terms of the knowledge needed and every patient encounter you have for the first several months. But there will be an attending physician with them throughout the process. You will also be doing 5-7 off-service rotations during the first year. You will go to ICU's and do orthopedics, anesthesia, and obstetrics. On your second and third year, it will progress to increased patient care responsibilities. You will start to lead teams. There will be teaching and mentoring aspect to that. When you get to your third year, you will start to lead the areas you're working in. And when you're done with your training, you need to be able to handle whatever comes through those doors at any point of the day. [32:33] How Students Can Evaluate What Programs They Can Apply To David thinks the program has become so competitive that there's no standardized way of mentoring an applicant as no two applicants are the same. That said, the applicants themselves don't know where they stand on the bigger scale of applicants. Because of the varying degrees of mentoring, students are picking up a lot of interview spots early when they probably don't need to. Then they cancel a lot. So there's a whole bigger issue here. David recommends that students seek someone who has experience in reviewing applications. They can look at your file and compare you to other applicants to give you a clear sense of what's important and where you might fall on that spectrum. This way, you can start thinking about how many applications you should be submitting. Ultimately, David outlines two things to know if this is something for you. First is to get into EM if you really think that EM is right for you. Second, experience at least two different types of EM programs. This could be an affiliate with the college of medicine. Or there could be close ties between the medical school and the ER department. There's also a community program that doesn't have a medical school in the area. There are also hybrid models that exist. At the end of the day, see if the message of the chair is something you would put your faith in. Pay attention when they're speaking. Then try to see if you like the residents and you fit in. [39:30] Bias Against Osteopathic Students David doesn't think there is any negativity that needs to be overcome. He believes allopathic and osteopathic students are viewed in the same way. However, he feels there may be still some programs that will require a USMLE score. Because of this, it could be hard for them to mentor an osteopathic student and tell them they need a USMLE score. He hopes there is some way to measure this going forward where programs are moving away from requiring USMLE scores. [Related episode: 6 Myths of Osteopathic Medical School] [42:45] Final Words of Wisdom Don't be afraid to reach out to people and residency leadership to ask for advice. They want to find people that can do the work that's put before them. Most importantly, just be yourself and enjoy the time in the clinical setting. He assures you will get way more out of this.
