The RRC has done a very good job at making most the EM programs solid. It depends on what niche you're interested in. Once you've had a decent amount of exposure to trauma, it tends to become more cookbook (as the trauma surgeons will be doing the hard work...we're stabilizing them so they can get to the OR). The medical cases tend be to less cookie cutter and more complex from an EM perspective.

The program Directer at the Medical College of Georgia (Augusta, GA)spent some time in the service (Army) and they get a decent variety of pathology as well as trauma.

The program at Grady/Emory (ATlanta, GA) provides plenty of variety and trauma as well. We had 8-10 shootings my last shift.

If I recall correctly, VCU (Richmond, VA) gets a decent variety of pathology and sees a decent number of traumas. I know a few folks who did residency there and liked the program.

I like SWATSurgeon's suggestions of Einstein, as well.

I'm not as familiar with the other programs (didn't interview/rotate/work there)

Any idea of what niche interest you may be interested in?

Thanks.
