Financial Burden of Emergency Medicine Residency Applications: Pre-, During, and Post-Pandemic
The total expenses reported by medical students applying to EM residency programs were significantly reduced during the pandemic, compared to other years. Some expenses, notably away rotation and second look and application costs, have risen post-pandemic. To help reduce the financial burden of the EM residency process, the continued use of virtual interviews is an opportunity for cost savings.
