This is crazy. If you're burned out by working too much, simply take fewer shifts now, heck, take 50% make 200k for ten years and you'd probably still come out far ahead of doing a whole nother residency that will not bring you what you think in the most likely scenarios.

Its just too hard to switch as a dr, if you were an NP/PA, no problem, which makes all the sense ofc.

I am curious how many EM interviews you went on last year and how much time and money you are going to invest in fellowship applications. And how open you are geographically to matching at less competitive programs. It’s been over a decade since I went through that process and it seems way worse now, especially with traveling being nightmarish. I also am much less eager to spend 3 years of my life in an undesirable part of the country now that I’m no longer in my 20’s.
I hope if you are successful in this endeavor you seriously consider a guest blog post after you match.

At my place, we could not have a "free" trainee. We have to tell people who would want to do such training that it is not allowed. All trainees must be treated the same, including being paid on the same scale.
Occasionally we get someone who is willing to pay the full cost including salary benefits and admin costs. They can train with us.
For them, it is usually a one year fellowship, not an entire residency.
