krissten27 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?
Moderator EMEDPA Posted November 26, 2013 Moderator depends on the specialty. there are lots of em and surgery programs and very few in other specialties like neurosurg, psych, and ent.
krissten27 Posted November 26, 2013 Author 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 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.
