EMER 81202 LIC Clinical Emergency Medicine
Students on the Emergency Medicine Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship will learn to care for undifferentiated and critically ill patients in local emergency departments. They will perform history and physicals, procedures, and generate differential diagnoses and plans under the supervision of an emergency medicine physician. During this clerkship, students will learn essential concepts in patient triage, acute resuscitation, outpatient vs. inpatient management, health care disparity and non-compliance. Additionally, the student will begin to develop a framework to make decisions based on limited information, which can lead to life-saving interventions in acutely ill patients. Students also will learn about common procedures encountered in the emergency department to include airway interventions, intravenous access, wound management, and effective interpersonal and inter-professional communication skills.
