Curriculum

Residents will have dedicated time for academic conferences every Wednesday morning. These sessions include didactics, case presentations, hands on workshops, and journal club. The residents do not work in the ED after 10pm the night before didactics to help protect this important time for learning. As per ACGME and FSU GME requirements, residents will perform a Quality Improvement (QI) project and participate in scholarly activity. Our academic calendar is based on the calendar month with each rotation starting on the 1st and finishing on the last day of the month so there are 12 rotations per year. Our interns start with a 1-month orientation that includes didactics, hand on workshops, certification courses, short shifts with our nurses and pharmacist, and a few shifts in the ED. This month is an excellent opportunity for our residents to get comfortable and feel prepared to begin their training. They also get a chance to bond as a class with multiple wellness events and opportunities to socialize. The only off campus rotation is the pediatric ICU month which the residents complete at the Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital. This site is about an hour away in beautiful St. Petersburg, Florida and housing is provided for the month to minimize the need to commute.

Educational Conferences

We send each class of residents to a conference annually with registration, travel, hotel fees and a food allowance provided. Currently our interns go to FCEP, our second years go to SAEM, and our third years go to ACEP. Further conference opportunities exist if our residents are presenting.

Educational Goals

The Model of the Clinical Practice of Emergency Medicine (EM Model) serves as the basis for our curriculum. It is our goal that our residents master this material, are more than prepared to practice in any environment and perform well on the emergency medicine certifying examination.

Simulation

Residents will participate in regularly scheduled simulations in our SIM lab, as well as in-situ activities within our ER. These experiences will include hands-on procedures on state-of-the-art mannequins, communication and teamwork training, as well as conflict management. Our simulation training will ensure our residents are prepared for clinical practice and their certifying exam. We look forward to the opening of the Kolschowsky Research and Education Institute in late spring/early summer, 2025 which will house a state-of-the-art Simulation lab, classrooms, GME offices and a resident lounge.
