Georgetown University School of Medicine welcomes visiting students on its emergency medicine rotation, a capstone 4th year rotation of the school’s curriculum. Student work one-on-one shifts with EM faculty physicians, and also learn from EM resident physicians from our affiliated residency program. Visiting students complete clinical shifts in two of our urban emergency departments, participate in simulation sessions, attend a toxicology session at the National Capital Poison Center, and attend weekly EM residency conferences. There are also excellent learning opportunities to spend time with sub-specialty trained faculty outside of the ED, such as sports medicine, toxicology, and emergency sonography. Georgetown participates in the AAMC’s VSLO program to process applications. For more information, please go to: https://som.georgetown.edu/education/visiting-students-program.
