Applicants should be fourth year medical students
in good standing, at either an LCME or AOA approved medical school.
Applicants should have completed all core clinical rotations
prior to their emergency medicine elective. Rotations are usually
scheduled to begin the first Monday of the month, but other schedules
will be considered. Students who are contemplating a career in
emergency medicine will be given priority. We also offer electives
in Pediatric Emergency Medicine and EM ultrasound. As with emergency
medicine applicants, pediatric EM applicants should be fourth
year medical students who have completed their core rotations
and are considering emergency medicine, pediatrics, or pediatric
emergency medicine as a career.
Please send any requests as early as possible,
because often the schedule is made before your arrival. We will
try to send you a copy of the schedule prior to your arrival.
You will work 16 to 18 shifts during a 4-week rotation. This
will consist of 12 to 14 8-hour shifts in the adult ED, and 4
12-hour shifts in the pediatric ED. Each Wednesday we have conference
in the D-10 Conference room from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm. There will
be student-based lectures on Wednesdays from 1 to 3 PM.
During your rotation in the ED, you will function
as a Sub-Intern. You will see, evaluate, and try to develop a
care plan for your patients. You will be supervised at all times.
These are your patients and you will be expected to follow and
manage them. Your immediate supervisor in the ED will usually
be the senior resident, EM3, on duty. You should present to the
senior resident, try to develop a differential diagnosis, formulate
a plan of diagnostic tests, and try to develop a care plan. Then
you and the senior resident can present to the attending. If
there is no senior resident quickly available, then you can present
directly to the attending. There will be at least one attending
and as many as four working at the same time in the adult ED.
While in the pediatric ED, you should present directly to the
attending.
Prior to seeing any patient, you should bring the
chart to your supervisor, so they can assess the acuity. If the
patient appears to be high acuity or in extremis, you may still
see the patient, but the resident or attending should accompany
you to the bedside. While in the ED we do want you to become
involved with high acuity patients, but with a team approach.
