Emergency Medicine Core Clerkship
About the Core Clerkship EMED301A
The Stanford Emergency Medicine Core Clerkship offers medical students the unique opportunity to care for undifferentiated ill patients in the acute care setting of the Emergency Department (ED).
Students will be exposed to the unique challenges of clinical decision-making with disease states that often evolve during the course of a patient’s presentation.
Students will care for critically ill patients, traumatically injured or suffering complications of chronic illness. They will also be exposed to the social determinants of health that influence a patient’s receiving care in the ED.
