VISITING: Closed to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Required. DESCRIPTION: The Emergency Department (ED) provides a unique learning environment as patients often present with undifferentiated chief complaints and experience dynamic changes in their clinical state. Through this clinical exposure, medical students will develop an understanding of the initial approach, management, and treatment of the undifferentiated acutely ill or injured patient and patients with worsening of their chronic disease. Students will perform complaint-directed history and physical exams, develop an appropriately prioritized differential diagnosis, initiate management, and determine the disposition of patients. Additionally, students will be exposed to the impact of social factors that influence a patient's seeking care in the ED along with the structural shortcomings of our current healthcare systems. Students will work a mix of days, evenings, overnights, weekends and holidays as part of their 4 week rotations. In addition to the shift work (approximately 14-16 shifts) they will participate in didactics, web-based learning, simulation exercises, and case presentations. Students will have shifts in both the Adult and Pediatric ED and be assigned to work with a senior Emergency Medicine resident under the supervision of an Emergency Medicine attending. Students will be required to take the NBME Shelf Examination in Emergency Medicine. PREREQUISITES: None.

VISITING: Open to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Elective. DESCRIPTION: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has become increasingly utilized in multiple medical specialties, with emergency medicine at the forefront. This rotation is designed to introduce point-of-care ultrasound to the clinical medical student and provide more in-depth and hands-on familiarity with bedside US for a variety of modalities. These skills will better equip students to use these techniques at the bedside of any patient in the emergency room or on the floors with greater facility and confidence. It will enhance patient diagnosis and management, procedural guidance, and patient satisfaction. It may even save a life! Primary emphasis will be on developing competent technical skills to enhance image acquisition and interpretation. The applications as defined by the American College of Emergency Physicians will be the main focus. A goal for a minimum number of ultrasound scans will be 25 per application including, eFAST, thoracic, renal, RUQ, aorta, limited ECHO and IVC, first trimester pelvic, DVT, orbital, MSK. Other advanced ultrasound applications will potentially be introduced (airway, bladder, nerve blocks). Students will obtain US images in the Stanford Emergency Department and will have imaging formally reviewed by a US fellowship trained emergency medicine faculty member. Images will be obtained during scan shifts during which students will scan appropriate patients and review images with the faculty member onsite and independently. Students will attend Bedside US didactics offered by an US EM faculty member every Thursday morning, followed by quality assessment (QA) review of Ultrasound scans performed in the ED. Students will have access and be expected to participate in online and computer-based learning that will be provided for them as well. This clerkship requires prior approval by Clerkship Director.
