Students will be expected to gain experience in performing various clinical procedures and are required to attend weekly student lectures, journal club and resident lectures. Students are also encouraged to participate in the ride-along program with the Phoenix Fire Department Paramedics. Students will be required to work 18 eight-hour shifts during the four weeks. Students will be expected to see patients and present the patient to an attending physician or senior resident including a discussion of the differential diagnosis and a coordinated diagnostic-management plan. Students will then manage the patient through discharge.
Students receive a composite evaluation at the end of the rotation.
No formal examination will be involved.
