Clinical Rotations:We hope to have multiple non-ED rotations available with the first class though the specifics of which rotations remain in development. Prospective rotations are still being evaluated with the simple but important goal that the experience and training on the rotation are high yield for an APP intending to practice emergency medicine. While some rotations will present limitations due to the disruptions from Covid-19, we are currently exploring non-ED rotations in Trauma, Pediatric EM, Critical care (ICU), Hospital Medicine, OB, Ophthalmology, and Anesthesia.
