What’s in a Fellowship? What to Consider when Pursuing a Fellowship - Careercast #60- 08/09/2021
This Careercast focuses on current considerations when considering a career in Trauma, Critical Care and Emergency General Surgery (EGS). Dr. Fariha Sheikh interviews Dr. Deisher and Dr. Zhang who have both been in practice for under two years and relatively fresh out of the fellowship realm. Drs. Deisher and Zhang offer guidance on choosing between different type of fellowships and offer advice on choosing a fellowship based on an individual's needs, whether that entails a one or two year fellowship, or a fellowship that is focused on a particular area whether it be trauma, critical care or EGS. They also navigate the pros and cons of interviewing for fellowship in the era of COVID-19 and how to optimize the interview season. Lastly, their experiences as new faculty and how that ties into the fellowships that they attended are discussed for further insight into the transition to becoming a junior attending.

Advanced Practitioners Training Programs - Careercast #33- 06/06/2017
Crossover episode! Just like the time the Fonz was on Mork and Mindy, this episode brings the moderators of EAST's Traumacast, Dr. Dave Morris and Careercasts, Dr. Brad Dennis (we'll let you decide who is Mork and who is the Fonz) together. The topic is the training programs available for Adavanced Practitioners: the types of programs available, how the terms "residency" and "fellowship" are used, and what to look for in a reputable program. Guests Jon Messing and Aaron Pugh both run successful Advanced Practitioners training fellowships and are actively involved in developing these programs nationally. Both provide interesting insights into this aspect of trauma provider education.
