EM INTENSIVE

Welcome to the Medical Student EM Intensive at
​Loma Linda University School of Medicine!

This rotation is meant for all fourth year medical students interested in or planning to go into emergency medicine. During the rotation, you will rotate through the very busy level 1 adult and pediatric trauma centers of Loma Linda University Medical Center (LLUMC) and Children’s Hospital (LLUCH). These facilities serve as the Inland Empire’s main tertiary care centers, covering a geographic area roughly equal to 25% of the state of California. 40% of evaluated patients are pediatric and we have one of the largest pediatric intensive care units in the western United States, active transplant center, stroke center, and cutting edge cancer center.
In addition to clinical experience and bedside teaching, students will get several hours of learning via unique simulation opportunities with attendings and residents in our state-of-the art simulation facility, dedicated learning shifts with residents, procedural workshops, and didactic lectures.

Shift evaluations

Do you write SLOEs?

  • Yes, we write Standardized Letters of Evaluation (SLOEs) for all rotating students.

Dispelling myths

  • ​Loma Linda University Medical Center is a faith-based institution rooted in the Seventh-day Adventist religion. However we welcome individuals of all faiths and backgrounds, united by our commitment to whole person care.
  • As a faith-based institution, drinks containing caffeine and food items with meat are not served at the hospital. However, you are allowed to bring and consume these items on campus. We are not the meat and coffee police. Above all we promote wellness and resiliency and if meat and coffee does the trick, who are we to say you can’t eat or drink that.
