I am coming to the end of my first year, and still too stupid to know what I don't know, so I apologize in advance if this seems absurd or appears that I have gross conceptual errors of how the process works...(always on guard from getting flamed!)
I am very interested in EM/IM, and I was wondering about the risks/benefits of doing both an EM and IM elective at the programs I am interested in.
I know this eats up a lot of elective spots (risk) but I am not sure if there is any substantial benefit to be had.
So yeah, just wanted to put this question out there and get some input from people who have matched EM/IM or those that are closer to being matched than I am.
Also, as a side note, has anyone done an EM elective at UIC, or an IM elective for that matter? I was just wondering how competitive it was to get selected for those rotation, and see what I should be doing at this point to increase my odds for selection.
Thanks!
