in <strong>Em</strong>ergency <strong>Med</strong>icine<br />
Both the core and advanced <strong>Em</strong>ergency <strong>Med</strong>icine rotations at HCMC are essentially four week<br />
sub-internships. Since 2005, <strong>Em</strong>ergency <strong>Med</strong>icine has been a mandatory core rotation for medical<br />
students at the University of Minnesota. Minnesota medical students participate in this core rotation at<br />
HCMC, Regions, Abbot Northwestern, Fairview, North Memorial <strong>Med</strong>ical <strong>Center</strong>, St. Johnʼs, St. Josephʼs,<br />
United, St. Maryʼs (Duluth) and St. Lukeʼs (Duluth). In addition, interested students are able to take an<br />
advanced <strong>Em</strong>ergency <strong>Med</strong>icine rotation at HCMC and Regions. Courses are also available at HCMC for<br />
medical students interested in research and in ultrasound, and at Regions for toxicology.<br />
In addition to University of Minnesota medical students, the <strong>Em</strong>ergency Department at HCMC hosts<br />
medical students and physician assistant (PA) students from across the country who are interested in<br />
emergency medicine.<br />
Along with G1and G2 residents, PAs and students are the primary medical providers (PMPs) of the<br />
emergency department (ED). They evaluate and manage patients in an assigned area in consultation with<br />
the ED supervisors (an ED attending and/or Senior Resident/Pit Boss). This includes conducting the<br />
history and physical examination, performing procedures, interpreting diagnostic tests and determining<br />
diagnoses, therapies, dispositions and follow-up plans on their patients.<br />
We pride ourselves that our students perform professionally and responsibly. Our department is<br />
committed to educating the future generation of providers, and we feel that our environment is very<br />
conducive to their success as future practitioners of medicine.<br />
