work a total of 10 clinical shifts, divided between the Main ED and Urgent Care/Fast Track, with patient care responsibilities as befitting a third-year student. When there is a teaching resident and/or senior EM resident on shift, the CPE student will primarily work with that resident to coordinate patient care; attend EM resident conference each Wednesday morning from 7-11 am in order to understand the EM approach to academics and core knowledge required of an EM physician. write a short (500 word) essay at the completion of their CPE detailing their experience in the ED, and how it has informed their future plans. Grading for this elective will be P/F only. Opportunities listed above are complementary to the standard third year curriculum, which should include: exposure to the ED on consulting services simulation and procedure labs dealing with acute critical illness on other services FOURTH YEAR MEDICAL STUDENTS L4 SENIOR ELECTIVE IN EMERGENCY MEDICINE Students planning to pursue any specialty can benefit from an in-depth exposure to EM, as our specialty has a broad application to many aspects of medicine. During this rotation, senior students will: work 12 clinical shifts in the ED (Main ED and Urgent Care/Fast Track). Student schedules will mirror those of rotating interns, as senior students are considered "acting interns" or on their EM rotation. Students will gain experience with managing multiple patient workups at once, and learn efficiency and appropriate management skills. be responsible for full evaluation and care of patients from start to finish, including: full history and physical exam; development of treatment and management plans under supervision of EM residents and faculty; assistance with or supervised performance of any necessary resuscitation or procedures on their patients. participate in team resuscitation efforts for acute, critically ill trauma and medical patients. be responsible for reading provided material on EM core topics, as well as attending didactic lectures, simulation and procedure labs, and completing selected online learning modules. perform at least one Observed Structured Clinical Exam and receive feedback on history and physical exam skills. take an end of rotation exam designed to assess their acquisition and understanding of core EM topics. participate in a team approach to patient care.
