I've just gotta figure out my priorities. I'm sure it'll all work itself out, provided I do work on STEP OK for real no more TD for me today, 2.5 days til exams and I'm still not through this stuff once. Peace

I'm so glad my wife is done with residency in June. Even from my side, that shite is exhausting.

Jose, food for thought on that issue. You can do IM, go on to other fellowships like cardiology, work in a clinic or as a hospitalist. If you choose IM, you can always moonlight in ERs on the weekends for extra cash if you enjoy working the ER.
However, if you choose EM, you are pretty much pigeon-holed in EM.

I am shooting for IM. Peds and OB are the only 2 that I have ruled out at the moment.
Jose, does your school allow you to do rotations in the UK?

Just for clarification: you're basically qualified to work in any non-level 1 trauma center in Louisiana with practically any medical license. The vast majority of ER doctors here aren't ER-board certified. In a lot of respects, outside of trauma situations (so for your more mundane problems), IM/FM/Peds doctors are just as/more comfortable seeing those patients than the EM guys, because a heck of a lot of what rolls through the ER doors should've gone to a walk-in clinic. This isn't to marginalize what ER docs do at all- they're great at what they do. But if in your mind it's "ER or bust," there's a lot of routes to the ER that don't include an (more and more competitive each day) ER residency. So even if you wind up slightly less competitive, don't fret it.
That said, don't let that keep you from applying to ER. Especially if you want to work in a big trauma center.

West Indies? You're not a real doctor, are you?

LSU's third year residents are a strong group this year.

Yeah we got UK and Canada (like anyone would chose Canada
). We had a meeting about clinical rotations a few weeks ago and the professors were encouraging us to do our cores there, I was just wondering if yall had heard the same? However since yall don't have them yall are probably being told something different. Go luck on step1 BTW

all i'm gonna say is.... learn how to write neat, or fricking type your shite out.... and don't write more than 4 Rx's on a single prescription.... it's actually the law....
and congratulations to everyone that's going to be a physician.... lots of dedication and sacrifice... have fun with those residencies....

If you're from the great north, I would imagine you would want to go back there. We get assigned our rotations based on Step scores. Hopefully I get Houma
