Episode 11: Residents as Teachers Part 1

Episode 14: Creating an emergency medicine clerkship

In this episode we discuss the very small task of how to create and design an emergency medicine clerkship.  I know this is not small at all. It is an enormous topic. But thankfully I have two guests to help me wade through this.  We have Dr. David Manthey, Professor of Emergency Medicine and the Medical Decision Making Thread Director at Wake Forest School of Medicine and Dr. Nicholas Kman, Director Part 3/Med 4 Academic Program and a Professor of Emergency Medicine at the Ohio State College.  And they have very cleverly distilled the approach to creating and/or designing a clerkship into a 5 step approach.  Is this everything you need to know? Absolutely not. But if you are stuck and looking for a place to start this will point you in the right direction.

Episode 10: Virtual Reality in Medical Education

This month, I spoke with Dr. Michael Barrie assistant professor of emergency medicine and the clerkship director at The Ohio State University.  He gives us a great introduction to virtual reality; what it is, how it can be used in medical education, and what tool and equipment are needed.

Episode 9: The Disinterested Student

In this episode I spoke with Dr. Page Bridges.  She is the assistant clerkship director at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine Greenville.  And we discussed how to engage the disinterested student.  We talked about why the emergency medicine clerkship is important and how to get buy in from the students who are pursuing a different specialty for residency.
