Clerkship Directors in Emergency Medicine

There are many skills required of emergency medicine clerkship directors, including developing a curriculum that covers learning objectives; training residents and faculty to reliably assess students; and providing career advice for home and visiting students. Clerkship directors are also beholden to many masters: the medical school, the department, and students as learners and advisees. In addition, clerkship directors are often responsible for maintaining and documenting compliance with accreditation standards, especially during Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) visits. This workshop will address vital skills for running a successful clerkship and navigating common pitfalls.

This Medical Student Symposium serves as an overview of emergency medicine (EM) and the application and match process for applicants of allopathic, osteopathic, international and military backgrounds. In this day-long session, thought leaders in the specialty discuss the process of applying for an EM residency position. The session includes specific discussions about clerkships, away rotations, personal statements, the match process, and interviews. Ample time is provided for questions and discussions during a lunch with EM program directors and clerkship directors. (RAMS Sponsored)

Research is needed to understand how to best implement precision emergency medicine in an effective and equitable manner. In the 2023 Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) Consensus Conference, Precision Emergency Medicine: Setting a Research Agenda, we will convene experts and thought leaders from academia and the technology sector to examine the key catalysts of precision emergency medicine, identify implementation challenges, and develop an actionable 10-year research agenda with relevant patient-centered outcomes.
