PAmommy Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I am just wondering how hard it is to get into PA residency programs, specifically Derm or EM. I hear 3% of graduates get admitted, but how many apply post PA to each program? There are far more EM residencies than Derm so are EM residencies are easier to get into than Derm?? I am very interested in Derm so that would be my preference. I am in my first year of PA school and would like to prepare for a residency in the future. I just want to make my self marketable. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinntsp Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I'd also be interested to know this kind of info. Have you tried reaching out to some residency program directors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanmcg Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I applied to a few EM residency/fellowship programs. It all depends on the number of applicants they accept. This ranges anywhere from 1-8. I went to two interviews. One of the places said they were interviewing 20 or so people for 2 spots. I didnt ask how many applied. The other program I applied to interviewed about 30 and chose 8. They said about 36 people applied. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
