Without putting too much detail out there how much did they have to hustle to get that spot? Did they have tons of extracurricular stuff and/or research experience with pain?
It seems like the competition for pain out of EM is skyrocketing and I'm trying to get an idea of what a competitive candidate looks like these days out of EM (not necessarily a gasser who is applying out of a strong gas program, who I would assume would have a much easier time matching in pain)
At my current job we now get rotating EM residents and it's interesting to hear how many of them are interested in pain, but can't imagine any of them are competitive for it without an inordinate amount of effort given the new EM-based interest.
>25% of pain programs didn't fill this year. Do with that what you will.
