hello friends,

I am a third year med student and I want to dual apply w EM as my backup. I dont have any EM LOR (no SLOE either). The rest of this year is core rotations and then next year my plan was to do subis in my preferred specialty (PMR). i could honestly squeeze an EM rotation before apps are submitted and get a SLOE but I would be sacrificing a sub-i. I am also fine with SOAPing EM idc about the program, three years is quick.

My eventual plan is to go into interventional pain.

I would honestly prefer doing 3 years at a shittier program for EM (via SOAP) vs 1 TY and then 3 at another program.

What do you think. any advice is appreciated. thank you
