The Department of Emergency Medicine offers exposure to a wide range of clinical problems and a dynamic regional emergency medical services system. The academic department provides a home for dedicated faculty and students to learn, teach, and pursue basic science, clinical, and health policy research. We are actively involved in undergraduate medical education and provide numerous opportunities for collaboration and exchange with faculty and students from many other disciplines.
3rd Year Medical Students
For third-year medical students, the department offers a two-week clerkship in Emergency Medicine. During this rotation, students are exposed to all facets of Emergency Medicine while working eight clinical shifts directly with EM attendings and residents. In addition, clerkship students spend four hours in the Clinical Skills Center learning procedural skills and working through acute case simulation exercises.
4th Year Medical Students
The department offers a four-week acting internship in Emergency Medicine for fourth-year medical students. Under direct supervision, students take on the roles/responsibilities of first-year Emergency Medicine residents, and participate in weekly case simulation and procedural training sessions during this rotation. In addition to the core clerkship and acting internship experiences, fourth-year medical students have the opportunity to participate in elective rotations in Emergency Medicine, Pediatric Emergency Medicine, Emergency Medical Services, Ultrasound, and a two-week Emergency Ultrasound Elective. Designed to review high-yield Emergency Medicine topics and procedural techniques, the department also facilitates the transition to the Residency course, for students preparing to begin their EM residency training. The department also provides a four-week Emergency Medicine rotation to Physician Assistant students.
Residency and Fellowship programs
The department sponsors an accredited three-year residency training program in Emergency Medicine. Stony Brook University Hospital is the primary clinical site of resident education. The comprehensive emergency medicine experience is augmented by community rotations at Good Samaritan Hospital, Eastern Long Island Hospital, Shock Trauma Center in Maryland. ICU rotations are provided at Stony Brook Medicine’s Neurocritical Care Unit, Cardiac Critical Care Unit, Medical Intensive Care Unit, and Surgical Intensive Care Unit. The Department of Emergency Medicine also offers a range of fellowship programs, including but not limited to Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Ultrasound, Resuscitation & Emergency Critical Care, and International Fellowship. The goal of the residency and fellowship programs are to train emergency physicians capable of providing thorough, competent, evidenced-based patient care, dedicated to improving and leading the field of emergency medicine into the future.
The Department of Emergency Medicine provides the path to the clinical competence, academic excellence, and administrative skills to help students achieve their goals.
