Comparative Study
Percentage of emergency medicine residency graduates who got their first choice of jobs did not change between 1995 and 1997.
The objective of this study was to compare the number of emergency medicine (EM) graduates unable to find a job in the city/area of their first choice in 1995 and 1997. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to EM residents who graduated in both 1995 and 1997. The survey ascertained resident's practice city and state, whether their job was in the city/area of first choice and how satisfied they were with their practice selection. ⋯ These numbers were similar to the 1995 data (P = .79). Job selection was more important than liking (P < .001) or having lived in (P < .001) a desired city/area of practice location. In conclusion, 1997 EM residency graduates were as successful as 1995 graduates in obtaining their first choice of jobs.
