Future doctor looking for poker friendly residency

[7ontheline]

If you're going to do IM or ER, ER is the one that will allow you the most poker time. IM, especially residency, is frequently a 6 days a week job with call and long hours. ER is hard work also, but you'll likely have more free days because your days on will be long and busy. Seriously though, I would recommend you put this low on your list of priorities unless you ar actually considering dropping out to play poker. I love poker, but residency is not really the time to be emphasizing it. You will be much less happy if you end up choosing a specialty or residency based on poker. You'll be practicing medicine for a long time. Poker will be there when you get through with residency.
