SURG 9311 Emergency Medicine
This will be a 4-week long rotation in which you will be working side-by-side with Emergency Medicine attending physicians, nurses, and ancillary staff in the ER taking care of undifferentiated patients. The ER is a unique environment: patients rarely present with a known diagnosis, gathering information is challenging, the level of acuity is high, the patient population is extremely diverse in socioeconomic background, and you must learn to interact with members of the healthcare profession serving many different roles. It is our firm belief that the Emergency Medicine rotation will be one of your best opportunities during medical school to develop your skills in performing a history and physical, presenting patients to other physicians, and performing common procedures.
Prerequisite: Successful Completion of MS1-MS3 curriculum.
