The clerkship in Emergency Medicine provides the student with an overview of the clinical specialty of Emergency Medicine with an emphasis on didactic knowledge and clinical experiences. Students may receive exposure to a diverse community of patients in ambulatory, inpatient settings, or remote or Telehealth encounters. Wherever possible, learning will occur as part of an integrated set of experiences where students participate in direct patient care, learning within several traditional disciplines. This clerkship will provide students with a multifaceted view of Emergency Medicine through clinical reasoning and evidence-based medicine, as well as the incorporation of psychosocial factors, cultural diversity, and resource management.
