Emergency Medicine—Second, Third and Fourth Years
Core Clerkship in Emergency Medicine:
During the Core Clerkship in Emergency Medicine, students will hone their skills in the rapid assessment of undifferentiated patients, become comfortable with stabilizing severely ill and injured patients, and develop their procedural abilities. In the clinical area, students will care for patients with a wide variety of diagnoses, working closely with faculty and residents. Student's educational experience will be enhanced through participation in weekly simulation exercises, resident teaching conferences, and departmental Grand Rounds. Students will learn to make crucial real-time medical decisions, and will leave the clerkship with a skill set that will serve them well in managing common emergencies, regardless of what field of medicine they ultimately pursue.
Emergency Medicine—Third and Fourth Years
Sub-internship in Emergency Medicine
APPROVED SUB-I EXPERIENCE
Students in the third and fourth years who wish an in-depth experience in emergency medicine may serve as sub-interns in the Adult Emergency Department. This course is about key concepts in the assessment, management, and disposition of patients in the Emergency Department. It builds on what they have learned in their Core Clerkship in Emergency Medicine, allowing them to apply those concepts by serving as the primary provider for acutely ill and injured patients in the ED. What students learn in this sub-internship will prepare them not only to evaluate and manage patients in the ED setting, but also to address acute concerns that arise in the care of hospitalized and ambulatory patients. Upon completion of this elective, students will demonstrate competency in the recognition and initial stabilization of life threats in trauma and non-trauma patients. Sub-interns are required to attend departmental conferences. A formal case write-up, in the form of a blog post, is required. Visiting applicants are limited to LCME-accredited schools only. Due to high demand, we are not accepting international medical students for this sub-internship.
