Emergency Medicine Subinternship

5 credits · School of Medicine

This sub-internship is designed for students with a career interest in emergency medicine. Students will hone their approach to the emergency medical patient, including essential diagnostic and therapeutic measures. The experience will encourage the development of skills important to the practice of emergency medicine including differential diagnosis, managing multiple patients, communicating with consultants, and making appropriate dispositions. Efforts are made to coordinate the majority of a student's shifts with a core group of faculty to provide mentorship. Students will attend weekly medical student lectures, Thursday morning resident conferences, and deliver a final case presentation.
