Emergency Medicine Interest Group (EMIG)
The Emergency Medicine Interest Group (EMIG) at Wright State University
Boonshoft School of Medicine allows medical students an inside look into
one of the most competitive specialties in medicine.
Residencies in Emergency Medicine are increasingly sought after due
to its inherent patient and case variety, fast pace and excellent compatibility
with both family and personal life.
Meetings are held every other month and include hands-on seminars in
techniques such as suturing and wound closure, casting and splinting,
and airway management. Presentations are also made by noted attending
physicians in Emergency Medicine, and cover important case studies and
ways to improve the student's chances of earning an EM residency. EMIG
students are also afforded opportunities to shadow in local Emergency
Departments with current residents and attending physicians, participate
in ride time with local EMS units, and even participate in regional SWAT
Team training in a role-playing capacity.
The EMIG
faculty advisor is Dr.
J. Michael Ballester.
