Fourth-year students can participate in a four-week experience in emergency medicine, which includes a clinical emergency department experience at Orange Park Medical Center and Park West Free Standing Emergency Department.

​

  Under faculty supervision, students see a spectrum of undifferentiated and undiagnosed patients, and participate in rapid assessment and treatment of a variety of problems. Students hone their skills in history taking, physical examination, problem solving, and effective use of clinical resources.

​

  The emergency medicine experience exposes students to types and stages of illnesses not previously encountered in the hospital, clinic, or office, as well as the workings of the pre-hospital emergency medical services system, patient triage, and disaster planning. 

​

An Elective is also available in emergency ultrasound. There is also a two week selective experience for interested third years.
