​The LSUHSC-BR Emergency Medicine Residency Program is allowing VSAS medical students to physically rotate with us in the 2022-23 academic year. In the setting of the COVID-19 pandemic, safety is our priority for all students. AAMC has given medical schools the ability to limit the number of away rotations per student. Therefore, we will be adhering to LSUNO SOM which will allow an individual EM visiting student a maximum of two rotations at our institution with rotations starting in July 2022 (Block 1). Please scroll down for rotation requirements, information on how to apply, about the rotation, and educational resources.

​

M4's or OM4's will be given intern-level responsibilities in patient care while under the supervision of an emergency medicine faculty member or resident. The degree of responsibility for patient care delegated to a medical student will vary based on a number of factors, including the nature of the patient’s illness, nature of the procedure to be done, and the level and abilities of the medical student. Med students are expected to attend all EM conferences and student lectures during their rotation.

 

Students will be evaluated using their own medical school criteria and evaluation form or our standard resident and faculty evaluation form.

Please apply through the Visiting Student Application Service (VSAS) and upload all required documents listed below. Please note that LSUHSC-New Orleans is no longer accepting the paper application. VSAS will OPEN for the 2022-23 academic year on March 7, 2022.
