* length of time of the elective blocks varies based on resident interest as well as possibility for alternative electives
Please note that emergency medicine blocks will vary in hours to expose the resident to the various hours and nuances of each shift.
Residents will staff every third weekend and staffing will consist of ED coverage for two 8 hour shifts. In addition, the resident will staff two holidays during the residency year.
Teaching
Residents will have many opportunities both formal and informal to improve on their teaching skills and share their unique knowledge with others. The ED pharmacists at Cooper are heavily integrated into the medical residency and participate in several teaching opportunities. Examples of teaching opportunities include but are not limited to:
- ACPE-accredited continuing education
- Emergency medicine medical resident conference presentation
- Cooper EMS lecture
- Clinical pearl for pharmacy staff
- Cooper/USP Critical Care/Emergency Medicine monthly journal scan
- Journal club presentation
- Case presentation
In addition, informal teaching by way of free open access medical education is a unique innovative way to expand knowledge outside the hospital walls. Residents may participate on the educational blog www.criticalcarenow.com, a website dedicated to providing intensivists with up to date information on resuscitation and all things critical care.
Additionally, they will contribute to the Instagram account @pharmbythegram, an account created to provide snack size knowledge and daily tidbits. Residents will create #swipeandlearn posts and #TILED (today I learned in the ED) posts during their rotations.
