Emergency Medicine

The Emergency Medicine Clerkship is designed to allow students to develop the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to recognize, diagnose, and manage patients presenting with an acute presentation of illness or injury while developing a better understanding of the role of emergency medicine in the healthcare system. This will be accomplished by involving the student in multiple activities: lectures, simulation activities, procedural skills lab, bedside teaching, and clinical shifts.  Students will have the opportunity to work with/interact with attending physicians, resident physicians, advanced practice providers (PAs, NPs), nursing staff, and EMS personnel.
