EM Critical Care Questions

[EM2013]

1) Does anyone know of any other CC fellowships that are EM friendly aside from the ones on this list?

2) How do people that aren't IM trained (EM, Surg, Anes) best learn about things like chronic HTN and Diabetes management? I imagine these people would be "behind the curve" compared to their IM counterparts.

Also do fellowships use Step 3 scores for selecting fellows?

Dont normalize numbers for the sake of normalizing them. Use autoregulation physiology to answer your hypertension question.

For diabetes keep BS <180. convert to 50:50 lantus and novolog. kick to floor team.

If you mean any utility in doing an away at a big CC shop your applying to during your PGY3 year.....I sure as **** hope so as that's my plan in 2 months lol. Gotta sell myself to the current fellows and PD

Recommendations from people who know you are not a *****.

I think an away rotation wouldn't be out of the question if you can get it set up. Lets the place know you are interested and that you are not a *****.
