Dub,
I agree with other people that have posted; you need to go to a program that is a level 1 trauma center. Also if you are interested in going into EM you need to spend your limited away rotations on programs that you are interested in matching at. It allows you to get insiders look at the program and it allows the residency program to get a more in depth look at you.
Emory in Atlanta is a good residency program and Grady their main training hospital is a great place to be a medical student. They see a lot of trauma and you get a lot of autonomy and experience as a medical student.
Cincinnati is a place you might want to look at. They are a level 1-trauma center and see a very high percentage of penetrating traumas. The residency program is top notch. Several of the Trauma Surgeons are Air Force and it is one of the training sites for the Critical Care Air Transport Teams.
Good luck.
