2,665 EM PGY1 spots were offered in 2020 (w/ 13 unfilled)
Given the YOY increase in EM residencies across the US, the # of positions offered this year will be higher. BUT, the number of applicants in 2020 is essentially equivalent to 2018: 4,200 = 4,271 @ACEPNow

COVID has disrupted the residency application process, but three truths persist:
EM is all about the team; we each have a role to play
