Welcome to EM WIT - Emergency Medicine: What is That?

These episodes will all be 5-10 minute quick-hits on high yield topics such as this episode's topic - how to become an EM doctor.

We hope this helps out anyone who is considering going into Emergency Medicine no matter what stage in life you're at now.
