North
Memorial Medical Center
Educational Objectives: Develop competency to practice in a community
emergency department environment. This includes aspects unique to community emergency
medicine practice such as communicating with staff consultants and having a limited
number of physicians
in the Emergency Department.
Description of clinical experiences: Residents have the opportunity
to see all types of patients. They are supervised by attending staff. They
manage patients primarily.
Description of didactic experiences: A minimum of five hours of didactic
conferences is held each week. All residents are excused for conferences and
are expected to attend. See IV.B.2-4 for further description of the didactic
experience. Additionally, there are EM conferences specific to North Memorial
Medical Center that residents are expected to attend.
Evaluation process: Residents receive written evaluations after completing
rotations to the ED. They are evaluated on their knowledge base, facility to
perform procedural skills as appropriate for their level of training and professional
attitudes. Residents are responsible for keeping track of all procedures performed.
These logbooks are reviewed at least twice a year by the Program Director.
Annual oral examinations, the national in-service examination, and case presentations
at conference are also used to evaluate residents.
Feedback mechanisms: The faculty on duty in the Emergency Department
provides immediate feedback. Such feedback is considered most important in
the resident’s education. Several times during the year residents meet
with their preceptors. In addition, the Program Director meets with each resident
twice each year to review the department’s evaluation of the resident.
