Medical Student Symposium
Friday, May 17, 2013
7:30 am – 4:30 pm
The Medical Student Symposium is intended to help medical students understand the residency and career options that exist in emergency medicine, evaluate residency opportunities, and select the right residency.
At the completion of the session, participants will: 1) know the characteristics of good emergency physicians and the “right” reasons to seek a career in this specialty; 2) have a better understanding of the application process; 3) consider factors important in determining the appropriate residency, including geographic locations, patient demographics, length of training, etc.; 4) understand the components of an emergency medicine rotation and what to expect while they are rotating in the ED; and 5) discuss the skills needed to get the most out of the educational experience in the ED rotation.
