Adjunct to clinical experience
The Department of Emergency Medicine at OSU has a strong academic history. Although it is impossible to replace hands-on experience, a variety of non-clinical formats are employed to complement this learning.
Didactics
The Emergency Medicine lecture series are held every Tuesday from 7am - Noon. In addition to the core lecture series, Trauma M&M, Emergency Medicine M&M, Pediatric ED Follow-up, Adult ED Follow-up, Reading Club, and Radiology Review conferences are held during this time.
Follow-up Conferences
At Adult Follow-up conference, a multi-level resident team is assigned to present an interesting case and an appropriate review article. The PGY-II resident presents the case, while the PGY-III gathers pertinent diagnostic imaging examples of the disease process from OSU's data archives or elsewhere. The PGY-I completes the presentation with a pertinent review article highlighting important aspects of presentation, diagnosis, and treatment modalities.
During an ED month at Columbus Children's Hospital, residents choose cases to present at the following month's Pediatric Follow-up Conference. The residents are also responsible for gathering and presenting all necessary lab or radiographic material as needed. Pediatric Emergency Medicine attendings are present at these conferences for further insight.
Presentations
All residents present one prepared lecture per year. These lectures are drawn from a variety of appropriate topics chosen at the beginning of each year, and these are one hour Powerpoint presentations.
Reading Club
There are three reading clubs held each month with a single resident presenter for each. Material has been divided so that a few chapters of Tintinalli are covered per session. Emergency medicine attendings offer insight throughout the presentation, offering different perspectives and reinforcing key points.
EMS
We learn the skills necessary to become an EMS director by assigned readings, ride-alongs, and attending EMS specific lectures throughout the residency program.
Journal Club
The last Thursday of the month is reserved for Journal Club. Residents and attendings gather to review and critique journal articles. These meetings are held at a variety of locations including various fine Columbus restaurants, and are as social as they are academic.
Skills Lab
EM residents can spend time in the skills lab which includes a case simulator mannequin. Residents can review cases or spend time teaching medical students procedures or how to run a code.
