Medical Student Program
The Regions Hospital Emergency Medicine Department has a long tradition of educating medical students. We had a total of 64 medical students rotate through the Regions ED during the 2022-23 academic year. We were fortunate to have a full complement of medical students, maintaining a robust roster of talented EM-bound students. The year culminated
with a very successful residency match where 9 of the 11 students who matched into the Regions Hospital EM Residency Class of 2026 came through our student program.
Medical student rotations include: essentials
of clinical medicine (ECM) for 1st and 2nd
year students, core required EM clerkship for University of Minnesota Medical Students, and an advanced EM clerkship for EM bound students. We also offer bedside ultrasound and toxicology clerkships. Students rotating
through Regions ED participate
in workshops in orthopedics,
eye, simulation and toxicology and attend didactic sessions alongside the EM residents and faculty. During their clinical shifts they evaluate the undifferentiated patient, formulate differential diagnoses and plans and perform basic EM procedures. They have the opportunity to participate in trauma team activations, code blue resuscitations and are able to evaluate patients across the entire spectrum of acuity.
Every year there are also 8 REACH students
who complete all of their 3rd year clerkships at Regions (except pediatrics). The REACH LIC – Regions Equitable Affordable Community Health Program was started in 2018. These students also rotate through the Regions ED.
Every year at Residency Graduation the
Kevin P. Kilgore, MD award is given to the top medical student educators amongst the faculty. This year’s recipients were Drs. Kristi Grall and Steve Stanfield. The Star Award (Outstanding Resident Educator for Medical Students) was awarded to Drs. McKinzy Butler and Sam Southgate. Dr. Kilgore was a medical student leader for decades and a talented educator who left an indelible legacy on the medical student program.
