Pain Management: It’s definitely not the most exciting topic in emergency medicine, but it’s easily one of the most important. Every single shift you will be required to manage a patient’s pain. In this episode, we will be covering the 6 major pain medicines that you n... by EM Clerkship

Introduction: Today, I am very excited to announce that The Emergency Medicine Clerkship Podcast (and its affiliate website) are officially LAUNCHED!!! Over the next several weeks, I plan on streamlining and simplifying the technical side of my publishing process. by EM Clerkship

Headache: Headache is one of the most common chief complaints that you will see on your clerkship. Luckily, it is also one of my favorite cases to evaluate. Why do I love it so much? Because I don’t need to be completely dependent on ancillary testing! by EM Clerkship
10 min listen
Circulation (Shock): Today is episode C, the final episode in our 3 part podcast series on the approach to a crashing patient. In previous episodes we covered AIRWAY: how the first thing we need to do is suction and move the posterior portion of the patient’s tongue. by EM Clerkship
9 min listen
Priapism: When I was on my clerkship, a few of my classmates had patients present to the emergency department with priapism. It’s not common. But even if you don’t get a case during your clerkship, you will certainly see one during residency. by EM Clerkship
7 min listen
Epistaxis: If you listened to the introduction episode, you heard my story about the patient with a bleeding nose. I had NO IDEA what to do. It was embarrassing. And that specific situation is what inspired the creation of this episode. Nosebleeds can be scary! by EM Clerkship
7 min listen
C-Spine Injury: This episode will overview cervical spine injuries in trauma. First you put the collar on, then you take it off. The tricky part is learning WHEN to take the collar off. You have two options. Option 1 is to use a decision rule called the NEXUS criteria... by EM Clerkship

8 min listen
Trauma: Trauma is easily the most interesting topic in all of emergency medicine. We might not see it quite as much as chest pain and abdominal pain, but trauma is certainly one of the top 10 things you will see most commonly on your clerkship. by EM Clerkship
9 min listen
Patient Encounters: During your clerkship, you will rapidly develop a flow for your shift. What do you do when you first pick up a chart? How much do you let your patients ramble? After you evaluate your patient, do you sprint at full speed straight to your attending? by EM Clerkship
10 min listen

Preeclampsia (Critical Diagnosis): It’s time to start diving deep into the critical diagnoses of Emergency Medicine. Partially because I think we need to mix up the format every once in awhile to keep things interesting, but also because your attending will expect you to know the basics... by EM Clerkship
8 min listen
Patient Presentations: We are going to discuss a very important topic today. How do you give a good patient presentation to your attending? This is the single most important skill you need to develop on your clerkship. Your presentations need to be FOCUSED, THOROUGH, by EM Clerkship

10 min listen
Airway: During your clerkship, you will be encountering sick patients. This is obvious. However, I promise that at least one of these patients will catch you VERY off guard. It usually goes like this, you are walking into a room, by EM Clerkship

9 min listen
Stroke (Critical Diagnosis): Today we are talking about the critical diagnosis of stroke. Specifically, we need to discuss what to do during ischemic strokes. And the most important thing to remember is that TIME IS BRAIN. If you ever suspect that your patient is having a stroke, by EM Clerkship
8 min listen
Altered Mental Status: AEIOU TIPS. This is easily one of the most important mnemonics of emergency medicine because it represents the differential diagnosis for altered mental status. Obviously, this is not meant to be an exhaustive list, by EM Clerkship

Burnout: Before we start clerkship season, we need to address the most important issue impacting emergency medicine: HALF of our physicians are experiencing burnout this year (Medscape). This is a huge problem. It leads to decreased speed, by EM Clerkship
7 min listen
Shortness of Breath: The most important thing to remember about shortness of breath is that you need to keep your thoughts and actions focused by using an organized approach. I recommend thinking anatomically. The differential diagnosis for this complaint is huge, by EM Clerkship
8 min listen
Abdominal Pain: The most common chief complaint in Emergency Medicine is abdominal pain. Most students already have an understanding of the basic approach to this problem. We know to ask about fevers, palpate the abdomen, and give something for nausea. by EM Clerkship
