The clerkship is best understood as a progression: you join the team with direct teaching support, take ownership of patients, build procedural and ultrasound skills, then leave with individualized feedback and mentorship for the Match.

01
A Dedicated Teaching Team
Each shift pairs the student with both a teaching resident and an attending physician. This structure provides increasing clinical autonomy while preserving immediate supervision, bedside teaching, and real-time feedback throughout the rotation.
Medical Student → Teaching Resident → Attending Physician
02
Clinical Autonomy
Evaluate and manage your own patients as part of the ED team, present directly to your resident and attending, and participate in bedside procedures.
03
Weekly Medical Student Boot Camp
Dedicated weekly sessions led by residents and faculty focus on the practical skills, decisions, and workflows that matter as you transition into internship.
04
Ultrasound & Simulation
Complete dedicated experiences with our Ultrasound and Simulation faculty, alongside the same hands-on educational programming used by our residents.
05
EMS Experience
Experience prehospital medicine through suburban and rural EMS ride-alongs, with opportunities for flight-EMS exposure when available.
06
Resident Didactics
Participate alongside residents in weekly conference, simulation, journal club, FOAMed-based learning, and other interactive educational sessions.
07
Mentorship, SLOE & The Match
Work closely with residency leadership throughout the month. Students pursuing emergency medicine receive individualized feedback, interview preparation, mentorship through The Match, and a meaningful SLOE based on direct faculty observation.
08
More Than Just a Month on Rotation
Our leadership team takes the time to know each rotating student as a learner and as a person. Direct faculty observation, dedicated teaching shifts, and interaction with program leadership allow us to provide meaningful feedback and write a SLOE based on more than a handful of brief clinical encounters.
