MedPrep II - The Shadowing Experience: Emergency Medicine

1 unit

MedPrep II offers students a real world, behind-the-scenes experience of a life in medicine. For four hours every other week, students shadow physicians in the Charles F. Knight Emergency and Trauma Center of Barnes-Jewish Hospital, the main teaching hospital of the WashU School of Medicine. In addition to shadowing, there is a required class session every other week. Because of the orientation material presented, we strongly recommend in person attendance at first class/orientation. We cover critical information about the course and logistics regarding scheduling of shadowing shifts. If you have a conflict, please contact the course instructor before the date of orientation. There is no outside course work and no exams. A $25 course fee for a MedPrep shirt and other course-related items (e.g. AV items and other course-related items) will be charged to the student account. HIPAA training and TB testing are required for this course. Students have 30 days to complete these requirements after receiving instructions via email, or forfeit their spot in the course (extensions are granted for students who are studying abroad). For more information about course requirements, please see the MedPrep website at medprep.wustl.edu . Registration is now completed via Workday, no longer through the MedPrep website.
