EMERGENCY MEDICINE CLERKSHIP 

Welcome Student Rotators!

Meet our EM Clerkship Director
Dr. Rachel Miller

As the Emergency Medicine Clerkship Director, it's my job to make sure that all medical students have a rewarding rotation in our emergency department - one where you will be taught, supported, and encouraged to start putting into practice what you have spent years learning in the classroom. We have a diverse patient population and a wide range of pathologies that we get to see every day when we come to work. If you want to know what being an EM doctor is like, or just get some more experience with procedures, diagnostic skills, and hands-on patient care, consider rotating with us!
