hi brieana,
i graduated college in 1989 and have been a family physician for 20 years.
here's what i would think would be good skills for emergency room docs.
communication skills
mechanical skills
observational skills
and dexterity
your job is to figure out how to translate that into a college educational plan.
to me, i can see several options but you know yourself best.
good luck!
