2 Description
Emergency Medicine (Fourth Year rotation): 2 blocks (8 weeks)
During your 8 week rotation you are expected to meet and exceed the following requirements and challenge yourself, to be proactive learners and ask questions. The Emergency Department provides an opportunity for significant clinical exposure and learning of many skills in the evaluation and treatment of acute diseases. The ED setting should give the student many opportunities to use their diagnostic reasoning, emphasizing the ability to recognize life-threatening situations and initiate resuscitation in a wide range of diseases with varying degrees of urgency. By the end their rotation the students should learn to appreciate the dynamic state of emergency medicine knowledge, the necessity for maintaining clinical competency and the means to do it. If there is a problem with one of the questions please email me directly, travis.smith@lecom.edu.
3 Requirements
- Each student must complete a minimum of 160 hours during each of the two 4-week rotations (40 hours per week)

- Complete the Weekly Online Questions in the coursework section
- Complete the online End of Rotation Quiz (Worth 20% of your final grade)
- If you are on your EM 1 rotation then you need to complete the weekly reading assignments, complete the questions of the day and the end of rotation quiz.
- If you are on your EM 2 rotation then you need to complete the weekly reading assignments, complete the questions of the day and the end of rotation quiz.
- Students MUST adhere to the ACGME rules regarding the workweek, which include working no more than 80 hours per week, no more than 24 hours continuously, except an additional 6 hours may be added to the 24 to perform wrap-up duties, and have at least one of every 7 days completely off from educational activities.
