*The rotations noted with *above also have a black out date on Wednesday 1 of the 4-week rotation for site
orientation (or Thursday 1 if Monday 1 is affected by a holiday).
For Away EM rotations at sites other than listed above, check with site director/coordinator for blackout dates
specific to that site. In addition in order for Dr. House to approve an Away EM elective rotation, you must complete
your EM requirement first (including SPI).
NOTE: EM required rotation and SPI Breaking Bad News must be completed for EM grade to be released.
EM Policy Reminders
 Requesting more than 3 consecutive days off for EM rotation requires prior approval from course director, Joe House
([email protected])
 Student scheduling requests (3 days) for EM should be limited to critical personal and medical school commitments and
cannot conflict with blackout dates. The only exception is during Period 7 when students can request 5 days off and
perform shifts post exam.
 Longitudinal clinic – In advance of the EM rotation, M4s with longitudinal clinics need to notify clerkship coordinator
stating day of the week and time of the clinic. Students may ask for up to 5 requests but requests cannot conflict with
blackout dates. We will work with students to accommodate as best we can.
 In general, Wednesday mornings are the best day/times for appointments. Shifts typically run 7a-3p/3p-11p/11p-7a.
If additional information is needed, please contact the EM clerkship coordinator, Heather Wourman ([email protected]).
