krissten27 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I was recently accepted into my first PA program and I am thinking about (well, looking into) doing a residency afterwards- I'm wondering, is it hard to get a residency? Is it very completitve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted November 26, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 26, 2013 depends on the specialty. there are lots of em and surgery programs and very few in other specialties like neurosurg, psych, and ent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissten27 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 I would most likely like em, surgery or hospitalist... looks like there is only one for hospitalist, but for the others there are more options. I'm just wondering just HOW competitve these spots are to get, does the school you attended matter? I don't really see much info researching it online...

Moderator EMEDPA Posted November 26, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 26, 2013 you need good grades and LORs from PA school. program doesn't matter. for em and surgery apply to a few and you will get a spot. some em and surgery spots don't fill every yr.
