All interesting patient case assignments should include a focused H&P, a written summary of the pathophysiology of the disease state as well as one related journal article review utilizing the “Evaluating a Peer Reviewed Scientific Article” form. Journal article should be related to the chosen interesting case, current, less than 5 years old, and come from an academic, peer-reviewed medical publication. Students that present the interesting case on a site visit should be prepared to lead a discussion with their fellow classmates and the clinical coordinator. This discussion should include all the elements of a focused H&P, related pathophysiology, and review of their chosen journal article. The interesting case assignment format can be submitted as either a word document or Power Point presentation in the same format as a focused H & P note. Students who are required to present their case may utilize an outline or notes for guidance, however reading verbatim is not permitted. Failure to submit this project will result in a grade of zero for this portion of the clerkship grade. DRUG CARDS Students are required to research three (3) pharmaceutical agents used during their emergency medicine clerkship and make flash cards demonstrating their knowledge of the class, mechanism of action, indications, contraindications, side effects, dosing, and cost of medication. The student is required to present these cards on the day of a site visit and be prepared to answer questions regarding the drugs selected. Students who do not have a site visit should upload them onto Exxat under session required documents prior to the start of call back day.

Should a student fail to produce these cards on a site visit or not upload onto Exxat prior to the start of call back day, they will receive a grade of zero for this portion of the clerkship grade.
