Our rotation takes up to 14 third- and fourth- year medical students each month. Five positions are reserved for students from the University of Minnesota Medical School. The rotation consists of approximately 14-16 clinical shifts, weekly Tuesday morning student lectures and or workshops, and 4 hours of conferences every Thursday. University of Minnesota students will also receive a half day simulation experience and a half day cadaver lab. Please keep in mind that we are an emergency department and are open 24 hours a day. You will be scheduled for shifts in the evenings, on weekends and nights. In the event that you need to request time off during your rotation, please keep it limited, and notify the student coordinator as soon as possible to assist with scheduling.
An outline of the written didactic syllabus as well as quizzes and written workshop material may be found on the Blackboard website where you will be required to register. The didactic material is comprised of selected readings from the CDEM website, as well as information in the on-line workshops. The Blackboard site has a list of goals and objectives for the selected readings and will also be used to take the evaluation at the end of the rotation. |
