Emergency Medicine Residency Requirements |
Second Year EMS Rotation:
It is expected that most of the requirements listed above
will be completed during the 2nd year EMS rotation. Most of the
required meetings occur monthly, and the meeting schedule and travel
directions will be posted on the EMS calendar of events on the EMS website.
We recommend that you look ahead and plan for these meetings prior to the
beginning of the rotation. All required readings should be completed during
the rotation. Apart from the previously listed readings, the following
articles are also required during the rotation:

The FEMA ICS courses are available on line at:
http://training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/IS/
|
These courses should also be completed during the EMS month. A certificate
of completion is required and must be submitted to residency office. It is
expected that the EMS case review (To be presented at the Tuesday
conference), the EMS quality assurance project and the lecture to an EMS
audience will all be accomplished during this rotation month. In order to
facilitate these requirements, the resident must meet with an EMS faculty
advisor early in the course of the rotation. An advisor will be assigned,
on a rotational basis, for each rotation month (See EMS calendar). You may
choose an alternate advisor, if that faculty member is available and agrees.
A written test will be administered at the end of your rotation that you are
required to pass. The test will cover material found in the required
readings, as well as information you will glean from your practical EMS
experiences during the month. |
