Georgetown University School of Medicine welcomes visiting students on its emergency medicine rotation, a capstone 4th year rotation of the school’s curriculum.

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.
