Gen Z in the ED: Medical Student Perspectives on Emergency Medicine

Allison Tu Leave a Comment Med Student Blog

Author: Allison Tu

About me: I’m a second-year medical student at NYU planning to pursue a career in emergency medicine. I graduated from Harvard in 2023 with a degree in psychology and global health, and during medical school, I’ve co-directed NYU’s asylum clinic and volunteered for the suicide prevention lifeline. I am also interested in teaching, and I hope to pursue a medical education fellowship in the future. Outside of medical school, I love social dance, baking, and long-distance running.  

To get a sense of how medical students feel about emergency medicine, we interviewed three students who are interested in EM: Nick, a graduating M4 pre-matched into EM residency, Charlotte, an M2 currently planning to pursue EM, and Annie, an M1 considering EM. 

What sparked your interest in emergency medicine? 

Nick: My interest in EM began when I was working in EMS as an undergrad,

Optimizing Trauma Resuscitation Education: A Year-Long In-Situ Simulation Curriculum

Delivering optimal care in a trauma resuscitation requires a highly coordinated and skilled team. Traditional learning methods, while valuable, may not fully prepare healthcare professionals for the high-pressure environment of a real-life trauma situation. In-situ simulation (ISS) training offers a powerful alternative by enabling teams to practice within their actual working environment with realistic scenarios.  This curriculum was written by our Emergency Medicine and Trauma Surgery faculty and outlines a year-long in-situ program designed for our Level I trauma centers. The program aims to enhance the knowledge, skills, and teamwork of healthcare professionals involved in trauma care. It fosters a collaborative learning environment for interdisciplinary and interprofessional teams.

Multiple studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of in-situ simulation training in trauma care.
