- DEM Year 4 (GEM3) EM Rotation
- This placement is intergrated into UCC’s fourth year curriculum – this involves a two-week placement in the Emergency Department.
- You will be here for a total of nine clinical days which will involve a shift pattern, and there will be one day of formal teaching to include group work, practical procedures, and didactic sessions covering topics specific to care of the Emergency Department patient.
- Student Selected Electives
- We have capacity to welcome a limited amount of students each year to complete their summer electives with ourselves in CUH ED. This is a great opportunity to have a bit more time to experience EM outside of the standard curriculum- for more information contact XXXXXXX.
