The subinternship in Emergency Medicine is an intense four-week course which offers an experience reflecting the breadth of the knowledge, activities, and responsibilities of an emergency medicine resident. This clerkship is offered to all fourth-year medical students at Weill Cornell Medical College and Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, as well as visiting students from outside institutions who are seriously considering a career in Emergency Medicine.
The course is modeled after the NewYork-Presbyterian Emergency Medicine Residency Program. NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia (168th Street) and NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell (E. 68th Street) serve as the sites for this rotation. Time spent at both locations will expose the student to a diverse patient population and wide variety of disease and injury. Our modern, high volume, and high acuity Emergency Departments will serve as the classroom for one of the most hands-on and educational rotations you will have during your medical school careers.
The four-week clerkship includes 10-12 eight-hour shifts that are divided between NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia and NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell. During this clerkship, students spend time in the Adult Emergency Departments at both facilities, the NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia Pediatric Emergency Department, and the NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Urgent Care Center. In addition, one shift will be spent with NewYork-Presbyterian EMS riding in an ambulance along with either an EMT or paramedic team.
There is also a substantial didactic component to this clerkship. Students attend a series of lectures, hands-on workshops, and small group sessions that will provide an overview of important emergency medicine topics. Example topics include trauma management, emergency ultrasound, and airway management. In addition, students attend the four-hour weekly departmental conferences and the daily morning report lectures.
