This video is actually so mental and so timely for me. I had the exact same process, moving from ortho to trauma surgery and then based on similar advise from senior colleagues I’m moving to EM and I just believe this is home for me, I love the variety and unpredictability and no roundsss or clinic😅
I went to middle school with Jonathan. He was so smart back then and look at him now! You are amazing Jonathan. Keep up the incredible work you provide. btw tell your sis I said HIII!!! Take care =)
Thanks, I did this video a few months ago. Here is the link. There's only so many EM/IM programs and I graduated from one that has such program. Hope you found it useful. ua-cam.com/video/_YVLNbCMvbI/v-deo.html
Yes, it can be difficult given the shift work nature. However, there is still flexibility in it. I did locums where I was able to control my schedule and now per diem where I work when I want. Full time staff members won't have as much flexibility but they have stability whereas my job doesn't offer any stability (which is ok for me) as I value flexibility and freedom over stability.
It's a market correction. I don't know the numbers that get filled after the SOAP which doesn't get as much attention as the number before SOAP. Lots of factors involved including more residency programs opening than probably needed. Students reading about future job market of EM physicians let's say not so rosy in addition to what happened during Covid and burnt out rate. IMO, it won't get better.
@@apotebill Many factors in decision of choosing a specialty. I still love what I do as an EM physician. Looking at the current and predicting future environment, I would weigh other options just like I did then when I was a medical student. That was the hope of this channel does: give students choices and perspectives that they wouldn't get at their schools to help make decisions.

This guy seems like a stud! Starting at a USMD next month and hoping to go ER

NEEDED THIS. THANK YOU
cool, hopefully other speciality videos will be helpful to you and your fellow students
Honestly just because of the shift schedule I can’t consider EM although I love the transversality of the job
Thanks a lot for this, Dr.Cao! Is it true that it's very difficult to maintain a fixed schedule in EM as opposed to IM(hospitalist)?

@@khanhcaomd5838 Thanks so much for this, Doctor! Wish you a very Happy new year!
Watching this video after match 2023. SOAP had almost 500 EM position. What is going on with EM? Is it going to get worse next cycle?
