M4 Curriculum

Home / About SAEM / Academies, Interest Groups, & Affiliates / CDEM / For Students / CDEM Curriculum / M4 Curriculum

 

The original CDEM curriculum was crafted with an audience for M4 students. It was meant to capture the most common conditions a fourth-year student would encounter while rotating in the ED.
