Emergency Medicine—Second, Third and Fourth Years
Core Clerkship in Emergency Medicine:
During the Core Clerkship in Emergency Medicine, students will develop skills in the rapid assessment of undifferentiated patients, become comfortable stabilizing severely ill and injured patients, and build their procedural abilities. In a clinical setting, students will care for patients with a wide range of diagnoses while working closely with faculty and residents. Students’ educational experience is enhanced through participation in weekly didactic and simulation exercises, resident teaching conferences, and departmental Grand Rounds. Students will learn to make crucial real-time medical decisions and leave the clerkship with skills to manage common emergencies, regardless of their future field of medicine.
Emergency Medicine—Third and Fourth Years
Sub-internship in Emergency Medicine
APPROVED SUB-I EXPERIENCE
Students in the third and fourth years who seek a more in-depth experience in emergency medicine may serve as sub-interns in the Adult Emergency Department. This course focuses on key concepts in the assessment, management, and disposition of patients in the Emergency Department. It builds on knowledge gained during the Core Clerkship or prior emergency medicine rotations, allowing students to apply these concepts as primary providers for acutely ill and injured patients. This experience prepares students to evaluate and manage patients in the Emergency Department and to address acute concerns in both hospitalized and ambulatory settings. Upon completion, students demonstrate competency in recognizing and initially stabilizing life-threatening conditions 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. Due to high demand, international medical students are not accepted for this sub-internship.
