BROOKDALE EMERGENCY MEDICINE
CLERKSHIP PROGRAM
Program Goals
Through our EM clerkship, students will be able to:
-
Gain an understanding of how the hospital works as a whole, starting from the Emergency Department (ED).
-
Gain experience in performing a focused history and physical exam.
-
Gain experience presenting their findings to attending physicians and advanced practice providers*
-
Broaden their understanding of differential diagnosis and treatment plans
-
Take advantage of the opportunity to perform and/or observe a wide range of procedures
Experience
The clinical experience entails clinical shifts in our ED areas: Trauma, Fast Track (low-acuity illnesses), Major Medicine, and Pediatrics.
In addition to bedside teaching, didactics are held every Wednesday from 9 am - 2 pm for students. These mandatory sessions include case discussions, EM Ultrasound lectures, case reviews, and dedicated student sessions.
Scheduling
PA and medical students can schedule their rotations accordingly:
-
PA students - Ms. Arlene Martin (amartin@bhmcny.org)
-
Medical students - via portal access at http://www.medaccessclerkships.com
All students MUST complete all pre-rotation and/or credentialing requirements in time in order to be cleared to start a rotation and be added to the ED schedule. Credentialing is not handled by the EM Clerkship Program at all.
