Rotation Information
During the 4-week elective, students are expected to act as sub-interns, picking up new patients independently and presenting their cases directly to an ED attending or senior resident. Participation in notifications and other high acuity cases is not merely encouraged but expected. Didactic activities include daily morning report and Wednesday resident conferences as well as dedicated medical student skills workshops in SIM lab, orthopedic procedures, suturing, IV placement and ultrasound.
Students are expected to work an average of 12 x 8-hour shifts in four weeks. The end of clerkship grade is based on shift evaluations, a 15-minute case evidence-based presentation and a quiz taken from a list of assigned reading.
