EPS providers are committed to educating future generations of healthcare providers. As a teaching hospital, many of our physicians are also Clinical Associate Professors for the University of Arizona’s College of Medicine – Phoenix.
Last Wednesday, six EPS attending physicians, Drs. Stephanie Campbell, Doug Dang, Jason Grimsman, Aneesh Narang, Geoffrey Schultz, and Casey Solem, proctored mock oral board exams for the Maricopa Emergency Medicine residents. Each of the faculty members were paired with a resident and simulated the real oral board exams that every Emergency Medicine resident graduate must pass in order to become board certified. After each case, faculty provided feedback to the resident on how well they managed the case, if critical actions were met, and what they needed to improve upon. Finally, faculty members met as a group and discussed strategies with the residents that they can use to help pass the board certification exam.
As providers in BUMCP’s Emergency Department, EPS is closely involved in Emergency Medicine resident training and education. BUMCP is the main secondary clinical training site for Maricopa Emergency Medicine residents and each resident spends two months of their residency rotation in our ED learning from our seasoned physicians and advanced practice providers. Many EPS providers are also actively involved in resident education during their weekly didactic conferences. Additionally, we have started to initiate research projects at BUMCP with residents’ participation. Our commitment to resident and medical student education is an integral part of our practice.
