Can you please share your opinions on away rotations? Thanks!

1 page a firm cutoff for personal? non-traditional student... lots to include

Dr. Levine, at the end of your talk could you please comment on how EM is evolving and the direction you believe the field is headed in the future? I read an article recently that was presumably written by a disgruntled EM doctor, so of course I took it with a grain of salt, but he discussed how some ED’s are implementing new policies based entirely on patient wait times. He said that if a patient has waited x time, their name turns yellow, then if they wait longer, it turns red and once it turns red the attending doc immediately gets a call from hospital administration asking why the wait time is so long. He was implying that many hospitals are so focused on the bottom line that they are only concerned with rapid turnover and no longer concerned with quality patient care which is causing a lot of unhappiness and unrest amongst EM docs. I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Thank you

Regarding letters — my school doesn’t have an EM residency, and I have asked our community EM faculty with whom I have rotated for a LOR. Should I have them fill out a SLOE or just write a regular letter?

will this powerpoint be available online?

Any tips for students in Canadian medical schools?

Are there any clinical skills that you recommend that a medical student should hone in on before an away rotation or even their own EM clerkship rotation (eg. CPR, intubation, ALS/BLS)

Thanks!

How do you compare third year clerkship grades when schools are not consistent in their grading criteria? My school makes it almost impossible to earn honors.

Good tips/resources for studying for end of rotation exams during 4th year auditions? Some sites use these scores for SLOEs... Thanks

What sets students apart during their away rotations?

How does research play into your evaluation of an applicant? Thank you

Any advice for preclinical students? Things to do for summer between MS1 and MS2?

Anything you want the DO's to do to stand out amongst our MD peers?

How does a previous history in emergency care play into the application? (Medic/RN/etc)

If you are student of a new medical schools first class how much of a disadvantage could this be?

Can we get your contact info? I have very specific questions as a military applicant.

Do you have any advice regarding attending the residency fair prior to ACEP this year? Reconnecting with PD's you've interviewed with, asking about interviews if you haven't been offered yet, etc, etc etc

^^great question, Corey. Thanks

what advice do you have for students who don't have a "home institution" hospital for EM, and how to land 4th year audition rotations? How many VSAS applications? How long to wait to hear back from programs?

regarding research and publications... how do you personally feel as a PD about non-research publications? eg publishing CME material for ACEP or editorals etc etc etc? Do these carry much weight?

How do you view international experiences in medicine? Thanks!

Can you elaborate further about osteopathic dean’s letters not being great? In what way? Thanks!

You mentioned Critical Care as a more highly weighted rotation for EM. Can you speak to some others that also carry more weight when viewed by a residency program?

How does the US IMG factor in If I have high scores & strong sloes?

How does your program view concurrent degrees, such as an MD-PhD?

Can you recommend any specific resources to review prior to an EM rotation?

Any advice on how to further develop differential diagnoses skills.
