A Note from the Division of Emergency Medicine at Seattle Children’s
We are pleased you have signed up to do a Pediatric Emergency Medicine Advanced Patient Clerkship. During this rotation we expect 4th year students to strive to function at the level of an intern. This means that you will have ED shifts scheduled similar to our interns (days, evenings, and weekends).
To prepare for your elective, please find a pediatric ER textbook of your choice to reference for the month. Some popular textbooks are by Barkin, Strange and Fleisher & Ludwig. Topics that you should familiarize yourself with prior to the rotation include pediatric abdominal pain, bronchiolitis and asthma, pediatric fractures and neonatal fevers. As the month progresses, I encourage you to read further about different topics that you encounter during your shifts.
Tamar Anderson in the ED offices will be in charge of setting your schedule.
Prior to your first shift, please contact me via email so that we can review expectations for your elective. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
W. Ben Prince, MD
Associate Director Pediatric Emergency Medicine Clerkship
Clinical Assistant Professor
