EMED G810 - Emergency Medicine

Credits: 2

This is a two week rotation designed for fourth year medical students who are interested in gaining in depth exposure to the specialty of Emergency Medicine. Students will rotate 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 Emergency Medicine rotation will introduce students to the principles of acute care medicine. Students will encounter a wide range of patients, presenting complaints, and levels of acuity. Students will have the opportunity to evaluate patients as well as formulate effective testing and treatment strategies. Active participation in patient care and procedural skills are emphasized in a strictly supervised setting.
