Teaching Topics for Structured Learning Opportunities

This listing is designed to facilitate brief learning encounters in our Emergency Department in addition to those opportunities generated by patients. The faculty and residents of HCMC encourage you to ask questions throughout your clinical shifts. We have listed a few topics in which we have special interest or expertise. When you come across a patient with a related illness, or have a few minutes of down time, grab us and ask to hear about one of these topics.
