Emergency Medicine
Courses Clerkships
Description
Medical students will play an integral role in the delivery of health care to our emergency department patients. They will have the opportunity to evaluate, manage, treat and prevent unexpected illness and injury. Under the direction and supervision of the emergency department attending, they will interview their patients, perform complaint-directed history and physical exams, develop an appropriate differential diagnosis, order diagnostic testing and initiate treatment. Students will read from the acclaimed textbook, An Introduction to Clinical Emergency Medicine (Cambridge University Press, 2005), written specifically for the EM clerkship. In addition, students will receive a course syllabus. All students are expected to attend orientation on the first Monday of the clerkship, complete 14 emergency department shifts performing direct clinical patient care, attend four core curriculum emergency medicine conferences (Wednesday mornings, 8:00A-12 noon), attend four interactive educational workshops (Thursday mornings 8:00A-12 noon; suturing, airway, ultrasound) and complete their reading assignments. Students also have the option of attending the Emergency Medicine journal club held once a month.
Please note: Visiting students must obtain approval from the Department prior to applying for this clerkship. Please email requests to Maria Alfonso at malfonso@stanford.edu along with your CV and a cover letter.
