Medical Student Rotations

Medical students are encouraged to rotate with our service, especially if you are interested in applying to our program. Students will be able to experience emergency department care settings as well as work closely with residents, emergency physicians, and community physicians.

An Emergency Medicine Faculty or Resident will always supervise the medical student. The degree of responsibility for patient care delegated to a medical student will vary based on a number of factors, including the nature of the patient’s illness, nature of the procedure to be done, and the level and abilities of the medical student. Medical students are expected to attend all Emergency Medicine Conferences and Lectures during the length of their rotation

Medical Students will be evaluated using their own medical school criteria and evaluation form or our standard resident evaluation form.

Housing is provided while on the medical student rotation.

Medical students must be currently enrolled in an accredited U.S. medical school and are required to submit the Visiting Student’s Application for an Elective at Louisiana State University School of Medicine

Specify Course # MEDC 437I on all communications with this LSU School of Mediicne – New Orleans Student Affairs Office.
