M-4 Rotation

Four week blocks – start date always on a Monday. The rotation dates are based on our predetermined four week block schedule – requests for days off are accepted (check with Academic Affairs for exact dates of blocks.) The ED shifts are 8 hours long, and students will work 14 shifts. These shifts will be divided between the different triage zones of our Emergency Department. There will be five hours of conference each week, 5 hours of orientation, a procedure lab and 3 hours of simulation didactics. A required exam will be given at the end of the rotation. Seventy percent of your grade will be from clinical evaluations and 30% is from your rotation exam.

Hospital: OSF Saint Francis Medical Center is a Level I Trauma Center and community teaching hospital. The patient volume is approximately 85,000/year. You will see a wide variety of patients, with 25-30% being Pediatrics.

Housing/Food/Parking: A list of housing is available in our medical center (on a space-available basis) and free meals while on duty. Parking is also available for $10.

M-3 Rotation

The Department of Emergency Medicine has established an elective for third year medical students at UICOMP. The elective is available during most blocks of the year for 2 weeks at a time. During this elective, students work 7 shifts in the ED directly with an upper level EM resident, participate in our EM conferences (total of 10 hours of didactics with procedural labs and simulation training), and practice procedures (ie – foley insertion, laceration repair, splinting, etc) during each ED shift. Shift times range between day and evening. Overnight shifts are currently not required but may be accommodated upon request. At this time, the M3 rotation is only available to UICOMP students.
