Educational Program |
|
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
-

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. |
