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.
