A Note About Wellness…

The Emergency Department often involves physically and emotionally challenging cases. It is important that you keep your mind and body healthy before, during, and after your shift. Should you experience any difficulty in coping with a difficult case, please contact the Program Director. You are NOT expected to cope with these challenges on your own. Confidentiality is guaranteed if you need assistance with personal health and/or wellness.

Finally, EMX Attending Physicians will challenge you to think critically about each observed case. They will integrate human physiology and seminar content into these discussions, and expect you to actively participate. It is our commitment to provide you with a safe learning environment, free from all forms of abuse (eg, emotional, physical, verbal, etc.). Please contact the EMX Program Director immediately if you are placed in an unsafe learning environment at any time (confidentiality is guaranteed).
