EMED 201A: Re-Certification for Basic Cardiac Life Support for Healthcare Professionals

The purpose of this course is to provide medical students re-certification in Basic Cardiac Life Support (BLS). Initial certification (EMED 201) occurs in the first year and expires 2 years from the initial course. This course will fulfill the requirements of the current BLS certification needed to complete the mandatory Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) training prior to graduation. Student will refresh their skills in one and two rescuer CPR for infants and adults, management of an obstructed airway, and use of an automated external defibrillator. This course is offered every quarter on medical school RRAP days (the third Friday of every 2nd quarter) and requires a permission code to enroll to allow us to balance students across the four available sessions. Note that to be fully registered for the course you must complete a separate form sent out by the head TA in addition to registering in the quarter you take the course; you will not receive course dates and information without completing this form. If you have any questions, or if you are a non-medical student who wishes to take the course, please email the head TA, Haley Morin, at hdmorin@stanford.edu.

EMED 301A: Emergency Medicine Core Clerkship

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. PERIODS AVAILABLE: 1-12, full time for 4 weeks, 6 students per period from P1-P3, 10 students per period from P4-P12. CLERKSHIP DIRECTOR: Moises Gallegos, M.D., moisesg@stanford.edu. CLERKSHIP COORDINATOR: Maria Alfonso, 650-497-6702, malfonso@stanford.edu. REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS: Where: The students are notified prior to the first day of the clerkship; Time: TBA. CALL CODE: 2-Other, see comment for explanation. OTHER FACULTY: W. Dixon. LOCATION: SUMC.

EMED 312A: Pediatric Emergency Medicine

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 24/7/365. 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: P4-12, full-time for 4 weeks. 1 students per period. CLERKSHIP DIRECTORS: Brittany Boswell, M.D., bboswell@stanford.edu and Guillermo Alberto De Angulo, M.D., gadeangu@stanford.edu. CLERKSHIP COORDINATOR: Kristen Kayser, kkayser@stanford.edu, 650-497-3058. REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS: Where: Stanford Hospital; Time: TBA. CALL CODE: 0. OTHER FACULTY: Staff. LOCATION: SUMC.

EMED 313A: Emergency Medicine Clerkship

VISITING: Open to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Selective 1. DESCRIPTION: Overall Description: During this 4-week selective, medical students will develop critical skills in the rapid evaluation and management of undifferentiated and acutely ill patients at the state-of-the-art Stanford University Medical Center (SUMC) and Kaiser Santa Clara Emergency Departments. With a high level of mentorship and on-shift guidance, learners will gain confidence assessing and resuscitating the incredible spectrum of patients presenting at each of these clinical sites. Students will be paired with a faculty coach in order to maximize educational opportunities and feedback over the four weeks. Students will be introduced to and gain longitudinal training in Precision Emergency Medicine and procedural skills. Clinical Duties: Students will work 14, 8-hour clinical shifts during the rotation. Rotators will have the opportunity to play an integral role on the care team, learning to take full responsibility in ensuring their patients receive high quality emergency care. Students will lead the initial assessment of each patient, performing directed history and physical exams, developing a focused differential diagnosis, and then designing and implementing a targeted care plan with input and support from the attending physician. Students will also learn essential communication skills, acting as the primary contact between the care team, patients, patient's families, consultants and hospital staff. Precision Educational Curriculum: Throughout the rotation, students will have access to a number of supporting educational events outside of the emergency department. Students will attend weekly core curriculum conferences with the Stanford Emergency Medicine residents, as well as a monthly journal club. Rotators will also have dedicated, learner-centered educational sessions focused on bedside ultrasound, laceration repair, and other procedures. Rotators will also engage in a series of interactive, faculty-led case discussions including an end-of-rotation Health Equity Rounds. A student-only simulation experience held at Stanford's innovative Center for Immersive and Simulation Based Learning early in the rotation will help faculty and students develop specific learning plans. The rotation culminates in a final written exam and social event. Pre-approval is required only for visiting students. Please contact clerkship coordinator Kristen Kayser (kkayser@stanford.edu) to inquire about pre-approval process and materials needed for submission. PREREQUISITES: Completed all core clerkships in internal medicine, family medicine, surgery, OB/GYN, psychiatry, neurology, and pediatrics. Stanford medical students must complete EMED 301A.
