MXP-180 Emergency Medicine as Society

Critical evaluation of the patients, staff, and
care provided in the Emergency Department, in
order to gain insight into the current state of
our society and identify areas for positive
engagement. Topics will include the intersection
of public health and individual needs of patients,
social determinants of health, the impact of
health (and non-health) policy, and the role of
implicit bias. Learning will be facilitated
through multiple highly interactive approaches to
provide a dynamic environment. Students will also
have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience
through time spent in the simulation center and
shadowing in the Emergency Department. May
Experience ONLY. 2 credits. 2
