Hi,
Ok, sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm not familiar with the whole match process and the different types of residency. My wife is a medical student; she's interviewing right now, and has applied to several hospitals in both IM & EM. She really wants to do EM but unfortunately she just did her EM rotation in October so she's getting her LoR in very late and odds are good she may not get an EM interview, but she has had several IM interviews.
My question is, I've read and heard that you can go into IM as a residency and then still go into EM afterwards with additional schooling/training etc... Can anyone help me learn how this works; I'm trying to help my wife do some research on it and if it's even a possibility/option so any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.
