1. Did they do research?
2. Where did they rotate 4th year and what program did they like the best?
3. Are there any resume builders that we need (like over summers) or
anything that we should do to be competitive?
4. Are all the EM residencies 3 years, is there always an intern year,
what kind of subspecialties are available after, how do you decide
which program is better?
5. What's the craziest thing you ever saw in the ED?
6. That's all
