Thank you doctor fir sharing this important information here!!! good luck to everyone.

There’s already a program in Roanoke valley with Level 1 adult and peds trauma that is accredited.

 

[Gilgamesh.]

Yes, but this is a new program that is giving the opportunity to people that could not match because it is off cycle.

Remember the new programs are better sometimes, for me, it is like a private school where your attendees try to teach you as much as they can. Hopefully, this program would be accredited.

But you are free to apply wherever you want.

Have a good day.

If non accredited you will never be board eligible and no normal hospital will hire you. HCA/Emcare, Teamhealth, USACS will take you no worries.

Oh good. A new non-accredited program preying on med students who weren't able to match in EM this cycle, hoping that they won't realize that if the program doesn't in fact become accredited, any graduates from the program will NOT be allowed to sit for the boards.

Aside from that, has anyone even visited the link above? I'm not sure how much faith I'd have in a program that apparently doesn't even bother to proofread their mission statement. Where there aren't grammatical or spelling errors, it just sounds like it was written by someone who has an incomplete grasp of the English language.

e.g.

"Our teaching faculty have a wide diversity of skill-sets, back grounds and interests that will expand your comfortably zone."

I really hope that my back grounds will help with my comfortably zone.

Wow!!! Instead, to help this new program and help It to be better with pieces of advice, you guys are destroying it.

I know there are a lot of cons (the big one board eligible), but maybe the answer in September is going to be positive.

That is pretty good that your programs are accredited, so help this new program to get it.

Good luck, guys!!

Rotations are four hours away in Richmond, no trauma and the other shop in town, Carilion, doesn’t have a single doc going to this new place? Sounds like a bunch of red flags to me. Had a buddy of mine go there, the Carilion program is a hidden gem. Even the docs that wanted to work at Carilion but couldn’t because they were so full didn’t go to Lewis Gale. Instead they chose other EDs in the area. That should tell you something.

You did notice that they want grads from US med schools...
DO program that haven’t even gotten provisional accreditation from ACGME...

The mission statement reads like Borat wrote it but program explicitly says no IMGs lol what a joke

Yes because the only reasonable advice for this program or it’s applicants would be “DO NOT APPLY”

A non-accredited, corporate run residency program in a tiny city that already has a residency at the major hospital in the area. Think about that for a minute.

Anyone hear anything about this program?
