EMMD M175Introduction to Clinical Reasoning0
This elective will allow students to practice their clinical reasoning skills by working through difficult cases gathered from the instructors' clinical experience as well as cases from popular TV shows and other types of media. We will go through the process of building a differential diagnosis and practice using online resources to find the answer to difficult questions. Special emphasis will be put on Emergency and Critical Care cases, but we will also discuss different clinical reasoning strategies for a variety of clinical situations. During this course, we will also be working together to solve real patient cases through CrowdMed, an online database for unsolved medical mysteries. This website allows patients with unsolved medical problems to present their own cases and ask for help from the medical community. You will become a "Medical Detective" and submit possible diagnoses to help patients get answers about their medical problems that have stumped their own physicians. We will break students up into teams, each led by one of the resident facilitators, to see who can help the most patients by solving their cases!

We would like to provide the opportunity at LKSOM for students to explore the field of Wilderness Medicine (WM) early in their medical education in the form of a structured elective. This elective is designed for 1st and 2nd year medical students, with a goal of providing an introduction to the field of WM and environmental medicine while gaining hands-on experience and exposure to skills required for expedition planning, rescue, and wilderness survival. We will create an interactive learning environment where students can learn and practice under the supervision of faculty with experience and training in WM. The Wilderness Medical Society, a CME-accredited resource for academic WM, offers course materials for student electives that we will utilize in the design of this elective.

EMMD M413Emergency Medicine Health Equity Elective0
Students will build their skills, experience and understanding of issues related to health equity and their manifestations in the emergency department. Students will explore social and structural determinants of health, health disparities, and the various levels of intervention to address them. They will acquire new vocabulary to describe the challenges faced by historically marginalized communities. Students will spend clinical time in the emergency department with a focus on how issues of health equity impact patient care. They will also spend time in alternate care settings, including the addiction medicine service, the Begin the Turn mobile unit, and at local community organizations to better understand the role of various stakeholders invested in addressing the challenges and opportunities in North Philadelphia. Students will attend didactic and interactive presentations given by Temple emergency medicine residents and faculty on social emergency medicine topics, and complete asynchronous work and an independent presentation on a related topic of their choice.
This Emergency Medicine clinical elective provides students with the opportunity to perform emergency medicine bedside ultrasound studies while on duty in the Emergency Department. Students will participate in or perform ultrasounds to aid in the diagnosis of common presentations such as hemoperitoneum, gallstones, hydronephrosis, live intrauterine pregnancy, abdominal aortic aneurysm, and/or pericardial effusion/tamponade.
This clinical elective provides students with the opportunity to participate in network medical toxicology consultation and inpatient medical detoxification. The consultation occurs at multiple hospitals and also utilizes telemedicine to address toxicological concerns. These include overdoses and exposures to chemicals and household, environmental, or occupational hazards.
