Student Conference

 

Every Wednesday morning from 8-11 am the students meet with members of the faculty for their core educational conference.

The first hour of the conference is a lecture covering basic topics in EM chosen from the provided reading material.  The lectures are case based, interactive, and feature digital photos, video and other reality enhancing tools. 

The second and third hours are used for skills labs (suturing/US/etc.) and for "Student Rounds."  Student rounds are your chance to bring a case to present and discuss.  The students are encouraged to bring xrays, ecgs and other materials to enhance the presentation.  The faculty moderator helps to guide the discussion, bring up teaching points and answer questions.  This has been one of the most popular portions of the conference.

At the end of conference the students have time to meet with Dr. Wilson to get feedback, and give feedback, discuss the rotation or address any other issues.
