Hey there, couple of questions to anyone familiar with Truman Medical Center in KC, MO residency program. 1) How often does the residency start? (i.e. once a season, once a year, twice a year) 2) has anyone gone and do (did) you have a good experience? 3) How competitive is it to get in? Thanks! S&B

As far as I know, in the beginning you have a class element that basically reviews over the systems and procedures, then you have a preceptorship for a number of weeks. (sorry I'm not terribly specific, I'm not in the program, just work with people who were/are. Also, since I'm in the ER, the orientation may be different from the floor)

It starts every 3 or 4 months I think

I work at DePaul ER. I have seen several RNs now come from the FUTURES program and they seem to be well rounded and lacking the *panicked deer in the headlights* look that a lot of new grad prior to them had. I would recommend it.
