How I Matched Into Emergency Medicine: An Interview with Brian Fromm

Matching into Emergency Medicine can be difficult given that there are far more applicants than residency positions available. In recent years, nearly 10% of allopathic medical students have failed to match. These numbers are worse for osteopathic and international medical graduates. To maximize the chances of a successful match, it's important that you have the "right strategy" in place. 

Although the optimal strategy will differ from one applicant to another, there is much that you can learn from the experiences of those who have successfully matched. In this episode, join Dr. Samir Desai as he interviews Dr. Brian Fromm, an emergency medicine resident at Thomas Jefferson University.

You'll understand the pitfalls in scheduling away rotations in EM, and how to shine during these rotations. You'll also learn about an important and powerful, yet underutilized technique, in increasing interview offers. Wondering what you may be asked during the residency interview? Brian fills us in on some challenging and unusual questions he encountered on the interview trail.
