Anyone who applied for EM this year is a hobby doc or fairly foolish. I don't see a way out of this mess, and I agree with the comment above from @Kryptocoin about the scourge of DO schools (for profit, no standards ASFAIK) and the willing applicants lining up for open admissions medschool.
EM is the canary. Medicine aside from those going to top 20 schools and into fields like urology that protect their own, is imploding, like law and academia.
Speaking of top 20 schools, EM was very popular this year at Stanford, UMich, and CWRU. Maybe they all have tech spouses or family money.
