Zucker School of Medicine at North Shore University Hospital and Long Island Jewish Medical Center Virtual Emergency Medicine Rotation
We at the Zucker SOM Emergency Medicine program at NS/LIJ are excited to offer a virtual rotation to any medical students interested in becoming better trained in Emergency Medicine.The rotation will be offered in 2 week block rotations between Aug 23th and November 16th.
Our goal is to recreate the patient interactions at the heart of emergency medicine. This virtual rotation will provide a case-based learning curriculum where students can take histories, present to an attending, have case-based discussions, make decisions and see the results of your actions. The virtual and controlled nature of this rotation allows for the student to explore a well-rounded EM curriculum based on the recommendations of CDEM. In addition to the case based learning focus, parts of the curriculum are designed to hone charting skills specific to EM, as well dedicated to learning the micro skills needed to be successful in emergency procedures.
Procedures both diagnostic and therapeutic are an important and interesting part of the specialty. Low fidelity home based procedure training has been used as an effective technique for learning these procedures. These include suturing, abscess drainage, intubation, ultrasound guided access and others. Many procedures can be done at home and more complex procedures can be learning from discussions of video demonstrated procedures.
The students will have exposure to toxicology, ultrasound, teaching, simulation, EMS and critical care with EM faculty trained in these subspecialties. This will be accomplished through conferences, presentations, discussions and readings. Students will have the opportunity to see these areas of interest through the eyes of those who have chosen it to be part of their career.
1-2 of the days will be run and taught by senior emergency medicine residents. The cases and learning objectives will be preplanned and these days are specifically designed to allow the students unfettered access to EM residents who can share their experiences with the students. It is available through VSLO
