I think you still can change your PS, and submit new one through ERAS. But the problem is, if program already called you usually they already have the print out of the old one. Otherwise, just tell the truth and be honest. Good luck!

you can defend EM with your application for prelim IM .... One can opt for EM as a subspecialty after doing 1 yr of M as prelim yr.. everyone know EM is very competetive and if you have one yr of IM exp.. you are a bettter candidate for EM

so far you still can change, but it depends on the program whether they are going to read your newly updated file or not. Maybe you can call them to inform. For prelim, you can change and put a check on it but as I stated before that it will depend on the program to read or not read it. Good luck!

Just say to e a good er physician you have to be a good IM doc, so you plan to finish this residency, see if you like er, if not continue in IM.
