Academic Life in Emergency Medicine Academic Life in Emergency Medicine

Dr. Sara Krzyzaniak (Host and Stanford University PD) and Dr. Michelle Lin (ALiEM Founder/UCSF) are joined by the Dr. Abra Fant (Northwestern PD) and Dr. Richard Church (University of Massachusetts PD) to debrief each other and you with what went down with the unprecedented results from 2023 EM Match. There were 132 programs with a total of 554 (18.4%) positions that went unfilled. Contrast that to our usual unfilled rates of 0-30 positions in 2015-2021.
We review "The Slide" with all the numbers from the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) from the past few years. We propose reasons why there were so many unfilled positions in 2023. What does this mean for the upcoming 2024 Match?

Dr. Sara Krzyzaniak (Host and Stanford University PD) and Dr. Michelle Lin (ALiEM Founder/UCSF) are joined by the always-wise Dr. Matt Pirotte (Vanderbilt University PD) to answer questions that YOU, the students, submitted to us regarding interview season. We tackle questions involving the nuances around:
Preference signaling 
Writing letters or emails of interest
Meaningfully connecting with busy program directors
Also we answer the perennial question of "Really, how important IS the interview in my overall application?"

Hot off the presses, the Council of EM Residency Directors just released its Standardized Letter of Evaluation (SLOE). We are honored to have CDEM president, Dr. Sharon Bord (Johns Hopkins University) and Dr. Doug Franzen (University of Washington), walk us through the document and the behind-the-scenes thought processes.
