Medical Student Education in Emergency Medicine: Do Students Meet the National Standards for Clinical Encounters of Selected Core Conditions?

“…In one study, students on an EM rotation were also significantly more likely to perform an initial evaluation and participate in diagnosis and management decisions than those in an internal medicine (IM) clerkship (8).…”

The Effect of Emergency Department Observational Experience on Medical Student Interest in Emergency Medicine

“…However, a virtual program lacks the ability to obtain first-hand experience and exposure in the ED. An EM rotation has been shown to provide a unique educational opportunity, and efforts have been made to create a uniform EM course (15)(16)(17)(18)(19). However, a required third-year EM rotation was found to have no correlation with the number of students applying or matching in EM (20).…”

Emergency Medicine Subinternship: Does a Standard Clinical Experience Improve Performance Outcomes?

With this in mind, we must strive to provide a curriculum that maximizes the didactic and clinical experience to achieve the educational objectives proposed by the Macy Foundation Report.…”
