Emergency Medicine Advanced

(4 Credits)

This is an advanced 4-week elective that seeks to build emergency medicine knowledge and experiences. As an advanced elective, students will be expected to serve at the level of an Emergency Medicine sub-intern and will be directly involved in patient care under the close supervision of a senior resident or faculty member. Students will gain a deeper understanding of the core principles, foundational knowledge, and essential skills relevant to the specialty. Students will gain experience evaluating and treating a mix of acute medical and surgical disorders, ranging in acuity from fast-track to critically ill. In addition to the patient care responsibilities, there will be dedicated didactic lectures, ultrasound workshops, SIM sessions and conferences.
