D is reporting that fewer than half of the graduating EM class at her alma mater (a HYS residency program) have job offers.

Younger D reports that in her med school graduating class–many of whom are completing their 3 year residencies this spring–nearly all have elected to enter fellowships to avoid the poor job market.
