Emergency Medicine

In the emergency departments of CCOM's affiliate hospitals, medical students, under the direction of a faculty member of the department, assist in providing emergency care. Medical students make initial assessments, take histories, do physicals and make case presentations to the attending physician on a patient's condition. They must also propose a diagnosis, develop an appropriate treatment plan, and determine the final disposition of the patient. An orientation lecture and weekly didactic lectures/simulation labs are part of the rotation.
