    First time noticing this community, subscribed!

    I’m a 2 year post residency EM doc in the Eastern Midwest region. I actually grew up on the west side of Minneapolis! I miss that city, but doubt I’ll be moving back there any time soon.

      Mind if I ask where you did residency? I’m aiming for Regions and Hennepin, and I guess Mayo if those two won’t take me. (It’s weird to think of Mayo as a backup option)

        Not wanting to give away too much personal information on the Internet, thanks to my residency wanting “the brand” and social media clout, we were required to have an online presence and bio. But I went to residency in the same location I’m currently practicing, Eastern Midwest.

        I originally applied to regions and Hennepin, would have loved to go there. Due to other external factors, it was better to come here.

          I don’t think Regions or Hennepin have a “brand” besides being the county hospital and safety net, so I hope I don’t run into that issue. All good though, don’t let on more than you’re comfortable with.
