EMED G800 - Emergency Medicine Acting Internship


Credits: 4

This is a four week Acting Internship designed for fourth year medical students, especially those who may be interested in pursuing a career in Emergency Medicine.  It rotates students through a variety of emergency clinical settings, including the level one trauma center and tertiary care facility of Greenville Memorial Hospital (with shifts in Critical Care, Intermediate Care, and our Children’s Emergency Center), and the outlying community emergency departments of Hillcrest in Simpsonville, Greer Memorial in Greer, and North Greenville in Traveler’s Rest.                              Shifts will vary from 8 to 12 hours in length and incorporate some weekends, evenings, and nights in an equitable fashion.  The A-I in Emergency Medicine will immerse students in the specialty of Emergency Medicine and the principles of acute care medicine.  Students will encounter a wide range of patients, presenting complaints, and levels of acuity. Active management and ownership of patients is emphasized in a strictly supervised setting.  There will also be an end of rotation final exam and brief patient presentation.
