I would also love to say that the health insurance brokerage service also works for the benefit of the coordinators of your group insurance plan. The health broker is given a directory of benefits needed by a person or a group coordinator. What a broker really does is find individuals or even coordinators which usually best complement those needs. Then he presents his tips and if each party agree, the actual broker formulates a binding agreement between the two parties. Thanks for your writing.

There are over 1000 "spots" available, and as long as you are an average applicant, you should be able to find a residency somewhere. And in the job market, it makes absolutely no difference if you have an MD or a DO. In fact, I am the first DO at my institution in a LONG time. One thing I would tell you, though, is to keep an open mind in residency about what specialty you want to go into. You may find you truly love something else! So don't put blinders on. Good luck!

So I was wondering if you had any difficulties getting into an EM residency and do you think, typically speaking, a person with a MD degree is more competitive in the job market as an emergency physician?

I am a licensed practical nurse. Do you think that will give me a good chance in the admissions process? What other things do you think will give an upper hand in the admissions process?

You should go to a DO school instead." So, I never applied. I probably should have, but was a wee 20 years old at the time and relatively naive. Now that I am finished with residency and am a full fledged attending, I realize that which medical school, or which residency you went to, doesn't really matter in the "real world." You just need to jump through the "hoops" that everyone has to, and do well. Be those hoops in DO school or MD school, it shouldn't make a difference. I tell medical students that you should have two criteria in which school to go to. Location, and tuition. That's it. Good luck!

I have known several "ER" docs who work two full time jobs, about 60-70 hours a week. And I know some people who just work 10-20 hours a week. Your pay is obviously linearly related to the # of hours you work. And if you do academics, you may work less, but are often paid a little less as well.
