The overall purpose of the course is to introduce the student to anaesthesia and emergency medicine/trauma care.

In Anaesthesia the students will have a dedicated and continuous two-week Anesthesia experience. The student will be able to progress through the breadth of areas of practice for anesthesia. Students will participate in pre-operative clinics, operating room and post-operative care and a teaching curriculum.
The clerkship rotation in Emergency Medicine is 4 weeks long. During this rotation, clerks are expected to work in the Emergency Department at Kingston General Hospital and the Urgent Care Centre at the Hotel Dieu Hospital. Clerks will also have the opportunity to participate in a number of interprofessional learning shifts which include shifts with ER nursing, triage, social work, ECG technologists and phlebotomists.
