IM/Anes vs. IM/EM for Career in Academic Critical Care
Hello, I am a third-year medical student. I am a former paramedic with a passion for critical care.

VA research/academic tracks, onboarding
Two separate questions but both related to working at the VA: (1) I've heard that if you want to pursue research or academics, you can select from one of two tracks - one with 0.8 FTE research and 0.2 FTE clinical, and another with the inverse - 0.8 FTE clinical and 0.2 FTE research.
