Just a heads up for those of you scrambling today. TRIs at Inspira Vineland do not get fair consideration for the Inspira programs despite what they are told at the time of contract. 7 interns out of 15 in the TRI program went to Inspira after the GME office expressed that they would recieve a schedule favorable to applying to Emergency Medicine at Inspira. This was to include multiple electives, possible away rotations to support applications to other programs and fair consideration for EM at Inspira. Not one person matched ... This is the second year of the same results. There is always an argument against unfavorable applications for a competative field, this is understandable. However, Inspira examined every TRI application prior to acceptance and continued to make the claims as mentioned above. They then rushed the decision of each applicant by giving them 2 hours to have the contract signed and returned. Even for those applicants who scrambled well after the MD match was over. Do not do a TRI at Inspira unless you are hoping for an OB position. They traditionally only take OBs into the program after a TRI. Out of 15 TRIs in Vineland, only 3 were taken into programs this year. Two of the 3 recieved their field of choice in OB and IM. It took considerable convincing by co-residents for them to consider ranking a TRI for the IM spot, even though it was more than deserved by the resident. Inspira routinely uses TRIs to fill thier less desirable programs which do not fill in the match. Do not fall for the hard sell, they do not follow through on their claims. Bottom line, the GME department is not to be trusted if you are a TRI. Take it for what it's worth. Do yourself a favor and do not scramble to Inspira for a TRI. After speaking with other TRIs around the country, there are certainly programs available which operate with more integrity.
