M25 Medicine 814Clinical Emergency Medicine - Barnes-Jewish Hospital0.0 Unit
Description:This rotation offers practical experience in the evaluation and management of acutely sick and injured patients. Students will function as sub-interns, initially evaluating their assigned patients and developing a plan for further diagnostic studies and therapy. They will report to a senior level resident or an attending physician. The student can expect to get an opportunity to perform a wide variety of procedural skills such as suturing, splinting, peripheral and central venous access, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Shifts will be eight hours and students will rotate between day, evening and night shifts, including weekend shifts, in order to gain maximum exposure to all types of emergencies. A core content of lectures will be provided. Students will gain an understanding of prehospital care by doing a ridealong shift with the St. Louis Fire Department EMS. Students will also gain knowledge of the basics of ultrasound during their time in the department. Students interested in EM will be doing 1:1 shifts with a single attending during their last two weeks of the rotation. Students desiring a letter of recommendation from any EM attending should take this WUSM IV Emergency Medicine rotation. Students will be scheduled for required weekend and overnight shifts and changes will not be allowed to the schedule unless approved prior to the start of the rotation by the course coordinator. Please be advised that there is a limit of days off while on this rotation during interview season; otherwise, students should arrange to take the elective at a different time during the year. Days off during the rest of the year will conform to university policy. Days off should be requested from the Course Coordinator at least two weeks prior to the beginning of the rotation for scheduling purposes.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
