CONCLUSION 
 
Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, and especially in light of the contents of enclosures (2) and (3), the Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting the following corrective action.  Petitioner met the eligibility criteria to receive the Emergency Medicine IP per references (b) and (c).  However, because of administrative oversight Petitioner received the General Medicine IP vice Emergency Medicine IP.  Although the proper administrative requirements were not completed, the Board felt that under these circumstances, relief is warranted.
