| Emergency Medicine Clerkship |
Since the beginning of our residency at North Florida we have offered an Emergency Medicine Clerkship opportunity for medical students. Students who have rotated with us comprise approximately 1/4 of our matched classes and if that’s not a excellent endorsement, we don’t know what is!
During this rotation students will work with a dedicated teaching resident and an attending physician. They will be responsible for the assessment and management of their patients and have ample opportunities to participate in procedures alongside the team. They will attend weekly didactics which include hands-on experiences, simulation sessions, and journal club.
Our Educational Leadership Group is committed to writing meaningful Emergency Medicine Standardized Letters of Evaluation (SLOEs). We also offer early virtual interviews and coaching to improve your interviewing skills. When you rotate us we treat you like family, just like we treat our residents!
We accept applications through Clinician Nexus from qualified MD and DO candidates from US medical schools.
Emergency Medicine Clerkship Highlights:
- Orientation and introduction to the rotation will include a resident-led tour followed by a meeting with the Clerkship Director to discuss the rotation goals and objectives
- Engagement in our didactics, simulation, and FOAMed schedule alongside the residents
- EMS experience including a suburban and rural EMS ride-along and an opportunity for a flight day on the helicopter with our flight EMS crew if you desire
- Ultrasound shift with our Ultrasound Director
- Specialized simulation training with our Simulation Director
- Faculty-run Medical Student Boot Camp session every week
- Rotators interested in matching into EM have the unique opportunity for mentorship in navigating The Match. They are offered early (still virtual) interviews and will receive useful feedback to enhance their success in future interviews.
- Our Clerkship Director will spend time getting to know you on a more personal level in order to create a meaningful SLOE
- In-person exit interview at local brewery to round out the experience and provide an additional mentorship opportunity
To apply, please use Clinician Nexus. MD and DO students are welcome!
