Hey everyone,
I'm a student at Univ. of Tenn in Memphis, which does not have an emergency medicine department. (All traumas are handled by the dept of surgery, or sent to IM.) I'm very interested in Emergency Medicine, but, obviously, I'm not going to get much exposure here. I'd like to do an away rotation or audition clerkship at another hospital, when that time comes. (I'm an M1.)
Should I try to figure out which residency programs I'll be applying to, then try to work out an audition clerkship there? Or, should I find out which hospitals in my region have traditionally taken students in for away rotations?
Also, how should I go about getting involved in research that is e-med oriented, in a school without an e-med dept?
Thanks a lot ,
