Hello everyone,
First and foremost: thank you for taking the time to read my post and help me out. I am a 28 YO nontrad. I spent the past year scribing in an emergency department and I LOVED IT! My experience prompted me to start in a premedical post bacc program, in which I am in the second...
In your opinion, why do people on SDN and other medical forums advise people so heavily against training in emergency medicine?
I’m really interested in it but almost every forum I read says it’s one of the worst fields.
Do you agree with this?
Has anyone heard about the Hopkins Hospital ED Volunteer Program? It's not anywhere specific on the hospital's website, but I heard from a friend that it's like a legendary program that gives them a bunch of training and they do a lot of things with the doctors and nurses and even round on...

Additionally, can an FP...

Hello,
I am a 4th year looking for a 4-week Emergency Medicine Clinical Rotation in the US that is IMG friendly. Does anyone have any experience with one?
Cheers!
So I know I have a few years before I really need to think about this, but I have some ideas of specialty and most aren’t too crazy (psych, peds, PCP). But the one thing I really thought I wanted was EM. After starting school though, I just feel like I would be totally unprepared.

I'm a psych resident and cover the ED at a couple hospitals. We don't have a dedicated psychiatric ED, or even space for these patients in the ED. At Hospital One: psych and ED have a great relationship; we do not d/c psych patients from the ED in the middle of the night, as it's thought to not...
So I've been a volunteer in the local ER for about a month and a half now. In the first month I saw plenty of things that were slightly upsetting, mothers crying while holding their injured babies, drunk people screaming at the police and doctors while getting medical clearance for jail. But a...

Hi,
I'm a 3rd year medical student. In the beginning of the new semester, I want to form an Emergency Society. There are some students who graduated this year, and were running a Surgery Society. They asked me to keep their society running as well, which is a good idea, cause I would have a lot...
