Emergency Medicine

Catalog description

The Emergency Medicine rotation is in the hospital setting with mixed medical and trauma emergencies. All experiences in emergency medicine have the goal of introducing students to most common emergent conditions patients are cared for by the primary care physician or emergency medicine physician in a community-based setting. This rotation must be completed at a designated VCOM core site; however, if a student is planning to apply to an EM residency and needs to use this rotation as an audition, they may do so outside of the core site with AD approval. Pediatric Emergency Medicine may be an elective but may not be used in place of the required Emergency Medicine Rotation. •
