A highlight every Wednesday morning at JeffEM, this protected time is always loaded with exciting content led by our amazing GME team and Dr. Dwyer! Conference features core-content lectures, M&M, SIM, review of EM literature, novel hands-on learning methods, class-specific learning sessions, oral boards review and much more.
Lead by the all-star team at JeffSono.org residents receive robust ultrasound training from day 1 of intern year. The dedicated ultrasound month is a highlight and residents enjoy participating in weekly tape review and U/S focused journal club. Each year Jefferson EM residents graduate with hundreds of scans under their belt and the confidence to incorporate EM ultrasound into their clinical practice.
In 2022, we went to SAEM and competed in Sonogames and tied for 4th place!
Medical Education is a central focus at JeffEM. Our MedEd fellows are continuously pushing the envelop when it comes to innovative ideas which are often highlighted at our weekly conference. Our EM Teach block for seniors also allow residents to develop teaching expertise through dedicated teach shifts with our SKMC medical students.
Over 6 weeks of elective time as seniors, residents get to explore their passion within Emergency Medicine ranging from popular electives at TJUH to international adventures. In the past we have had residents experience practicing EM in Block Island, St. Lucia and Rwanda.
We have monthly sim sessions at Jefferson’s state of the art Rector Clinical Skills & Simulation Center. Throughout residency our residents work to hone their clinical skills in the SIM center. Every year we practice tough cases and rare procedures including difficult airways, TVPs, ECMO, crics, lateral canthotomies, and difficult births just to name a few.
