The fellows will receive daily instruction from a combination of faculty from RRIEM and RTIICS.  These educational experiences will include daily one-hour morning seminars with an emphasis on case-based teachings that will focus on the monthly module’s topic.  The fellows will be given a clinical scenario, and then the instructor will lead the fellows through a discussion that includes: developing a differential diagnosis, ordering appropriate laboratory and radiology diagnostic tests, finding the diagnosis, and managing and treating the clinical problem.  Instructors will then provide clinical teaching through bedside clinical rounds of specific patients.
 

One day a week, the program will dedicate 5 hours for educational conference for the fellows that will include didactic lectures, case conferences, journal article discussions, and guest lecturers.  During these 5 hours, the fellows will be excused from clinical responsibilities, and will have protected time for their educational development. Fundamental components of the education program include:

  • Lectures on the modular topic of the month

  • Evidence-based medicine

  • Journal article discussions

  • Grand rounds and guest speakers

  • Morbidity and mortality (M&M) conferences

  • Follow up case discussions on patients admitted through the emergency department

  • Procedures and skills seminars

  • Presentations by the fellows

The content of the weekly seminars will also focus on the modular topic for the particular month.  Fellows will also have the opportunity to prepare presentations for their colleagues, and 4 times a year, the fellows will give a prepared lecture on a specific subject.  These presentations will improve the fellows speaking and presentations skills.  The Emergency Medicine faculty will also invite experts from other fields such as cardiology, surgery, and pediatrics to give guest lectures on important topics that are related to emergency medicine.  Fellows will be expected to read assigned chapters in their textbooks and to read relevant journal articles. 

 

In addition, fellows will be encouraged to initiate and conduct research projects pertinent to emergency medicine, and they will be required to write a scholarly articles that are worthy of publication.  The fellows will be expected to work on a research project with the faculty, and they will be required to submit one abstract or oral presentation per year at a conference.  The fellows should also submit one paper per year to a journal for potential publication.
