    shan_elle replied to shan_elle's topic in Emergency

    That is a really good point! We are really lucky in that we actually get some say in our placements throughout the entire program. I think that was part of my frustration...throughout the program I've...

  11. Why wasn't I placed in the ED?

    shan_elle replied to shan_elle's topic in Emergency

    I think even if I did really well in my ED interview I still wouldn't have been placed there. We had a "Meet and Greet" with faculty and unit representatives a couple weeks before the interviews (ED...

    shan_elle replied to shan_elle's topic in Emergency
