Emergency Medicine Clerkship Director

I would like to welcome you to the Emergency Medicine Clerkship rotation.  Our goal is to provide you with the best faculty and resident education you can receive.  We have a very diverse mix of patients that will expose you to every facet of emergency care.  You will have the opportunity to see patients immediately as they present to the Emergency Department and follow them throughout their workup until discharge.  Our nursing and support personnel are excellent.
 

The Emergency Medicine Clerkship consists of experiences in direct patient care of acutely ill patients, bedside teaching rounds, selected readings from an emergency

medicine textbook, and weekly resident as well as dedicated student case conferences.  The student lectures will include topics such as chest & abdominal pain, respiratory & trauma care, pediatric fever, EKG/X-ray interpretation in a clinical case review format. You will have the opportunity and will be expected to actively participate in these student lectures.  You will have the opportunity to perform procedures under supervision such as incision and drainage, suturing, ultrasound guided central line placement and paracentesis.

We hope to provide every student with an interactive atmosphere conducive to learning with ample faculty teaching and feedback to make this the best clerkship rotation for you.  We also provide experience in emergency ultrasonography and opportunities for research.

We will look forward to having you and if we can be of assistance please do not hesitate to contact us.
