The objective of the emergency medicine clinical rotation is to provide the senior student with meaningful exposure to the principles and practices of high quality emergency care. The clinical practice of emergency medicine includes patients of every age group with problems ranging from child abuse to cardiac arrest and from trauma to intoxication.
The technique of rapid but thorough patient assessment will be taught with emphasis on the management of the acutely ill or injured patient. The student may have an opportunity to interact with the emergency care team at many levels including: attendance at medical education conferences, paramedic and EMT training and inservice, advanced cardiac and trauma life support programs, as well as ongoing emergency department educational presentations.
