EPA as a resident is a wonderful experience. It not only helps immensely with improvement in your clinical skills, but is also a great resume' booster. I've had multiple employers tell me that they wanted to hire me because I had experience outside of my residency. The environment is very supportive and the community accepts you with open arms. The local doctors are happy that you're relieving some of their pressure and are always more than willing to help. Overall, EPA is a fantastic experience.

When I was in my family practice residency, moonlighting gave me valuable experience. It helped me gain confidence in my clinical skills, and it helped me learn how to manage patient flow in a busy emergency department. (The extra income was also nice.)

I enjoyed family practice but due to a family situation and time demands I made the switch to full time emergency practice almost six years ago. I gained more control over my time while still retaining the kind of practice I enjoy. Working in small communities has the feel of family practice because I work with the same colleagues and I often know the patients I see in the emergency department.

Moonlighting is great for experience and it is an opportunity to consider full time emergency practice as a career option for you.

Working with EPA as a resident has allowed me to broaden my educational experiences by working in small town emergency departments in Iowa. Through these opportunities, I have gained a greater degree of confidence for disease recognition and treatment. These experiences and the skills gained will serve me well when I join a rural primary care clinic this summer.
