ACE: Enhanced Experience in Emergency Medicine

School of Medicine

The goal of this course is to provide students with an intensive emergency medicine (EM) experience. Students will have increased responsibilities for the assessment and management of patients presenting for acute care and will work a schedule of emergency department (ED) shifts more typical of an EM intern, including days, evenings, overnights, and weekends. This course offers an intensive experience designed to provide students with increased responsibilities for the assessment and management of patients seeking acute care. Students are integrated into the emergency medicine health care team and schedule. During the course, students assume ownership for the overall care of their assigned patients for the entire continuum of their ED course, including transitions of care. In a closely supervised setting, students will experience the roles and responsibilities of an intern on the team.
