Collectively, if the #EM community’s goal is to decrease residency positions, we must advocate for higher residency standards – did you know right now an EM resident only needs 35 intubations to graduate?! 🧵
Additionally, ideas around designating an acceptable trauma level distinction for a program’s primary ED, fellowship training requirements for program leaders, etc. have been proposed in the EM community. 🧵
The comment period for the initial stages of the @acgme EM residency program requirement changes (Summary of Themes and Insights for Emergency Medicine Scenario-Based Planning for Program Requirement Revisions) is open until April 5th (acgme.org/what-we-do/acc…). 🧵
If you have recommendations for EM residency program requirement changes, reach out to @emresidents to share your feedback and concerns. Advocacy is the best way to increase the program standards! 🧵
To conclude, the drop in EM applicants is multifactorial, we are working to make the ED a better place for ourselves/our patients, & at the end of the day, the majority of EM docs will tell you how much pride we take in being badass #EMdocs who treat Anyone, Anything, Anytime. 🧵
Well folks, if you made it to the end of this thread, congrats! Thoughts? Questions? Concerns? Let me know! 🧵
