Course Description
In this course the student spends two weeks working with the Emergency Medicine team in the Critical Care Trauma. The student will become familiar with the following issues in Emergency Medicine: (1) Rapid identification, resuscitation, and stabilization of the critically ill or injured patient; (2) Prioritization of therapeutic and diagnostic procedures in the setting of the patient's initial presentation; and (3) The decision-making process in airway management, the use of invasive versus non-invasive monitoring, and the initiation of safe therapeutics during the ongoing diagnostic evaluation. The rotation includes overnight and weekend shifts. Visiting students accepted by arrangement with course director only. Research is not required, however, students may contact faculty and join ongoing long-term projects--many opportunities.
