Making it from medical school to residency can be tough. And confusing. And overwhelming. We know, we’ve been there. Here at EM Stud, our goal is to give you free, up-to-date, easily accessible information to help you figure out if Emergency Medicine is right for you, and if so, how best to get there.
What is an EM Stud?
1. A medical student with the drive and determination to learn as much as possible about Emergency Medicine.
2. A medical student whose knowledge, compassion, and work ethic is above and beyond the rest.
3. A medical student who will one day become a great emergency physician.
4. A podcast for EM Studs – brought to you by the Clerkship Directors in Emergency Medicine!
