VISITING: Closed to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Elective. DESCRIPTION: The Emergency Department frontline providers are tasked with the rapid assessment and stabilization of patients who present uniquely undifferentiated to the ED 24/7/EMED 365. Exposure to Pediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) in medical school provides an invaluable opportunity for students to learn about the unique challenges and complexities of children with acute, undifferentiated complaints. This 4-week elective at the SHC Pediatric Emergency Department provides students with educational opportunities that include one-on-one teaching with both Pediatric and EM senior residents as well as Pediatric Emergency Medicine trained fellows and attendings. There is protected time to attend the EMED weekly grand rounds and resident conferences as well as didactic sessions provided by PEM faculty. This elective will expose the student to a wealth of clinical scenarios, supplemented with didactics and ultrasound teaching, that will address the most common chief complaints. Traditionally PEM physicians manage pathology from every pediatric subspeciality, and the experience of the student will range from management of the patient with acute illness to day to day chief complaints that bring the patient to the ED provider. Clerkship students will see patients on their own, with senior resident, PEM fellow, and attending guidance. PREREQUISITES: None. PERIODS AVAILABLE: P4-EMED 12, full time for 2 or 4 weeks. 1 students per period.
