Emergency Medicine Resident Panel

We had two PGY1 Emergency Medicine residents from Robert Wood Johnson, Dr. Jackie Nicholas and Dr. Rohail Khan, speak about their experiences. Specifically, our members got to hear about their paths to emergency medicine and advice for anyone interested in the field! A Q&A was session was held at the end of our meeting so our membership could ask any questions they had.

Our members enjoyed a journal club on the various aspects of trauma and ways to treat it in emergency medicine. They also had the chance to participate in hands-on stations with a variety of EMS equipment, including backboards/straps, cervical collars, trauma dressings, and more!

Mock Scenarios

Members were placed into a variety of fictional scenarios for the chance to make judgments as an EMT, RN, or physician and learn from E-Board about the dynamics of decision making across multiple healthcare settings!

Members had the opportunity to hear some of E-Board's healthcare experiences, participate in mock EMT calls, and discuss behavioral health in EMS.

Our final meeting of the 2023-2024 academic year helped our members destress for finals week!
