MedPrep II - The Shadowing Experience: Emergency Medicine

BIOLOGY AND BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES 2654

MedPrep II (Bio 2654) offers students a real world, behind-the-scenes experience of a life in medicine. For four hours every other week, students shadow physicians in the Charles F. Knight Emergency and Trauma Center of Barnes-Jewish Hospital, the main teaching hospital of the Washington University School of Medicine. In addition to shadowing, there is a required Q&A Debriefing Session every other Monday from 5:00-5:50 pm. The first session on 5/20/24 is a mandatory 2-hour orientation session from 5:00-6:50 pm. Attendance at both hours is mandatory and excused absences will not be given for any reason, including illness or emergency. Successful completion of MedPrep I (Bio 2651), and rising-sophomore standing or above are required to take MedPrep II. A $25 course fee as well as HIPAA training and TB testing are required. Students will pre-register through the course website (medprep.wustl.edu), then add the course in WebSTAC where they will be placed on a waitlist until requirements are completed. They will then be officially enrolled in WebSTAC by the course coordinator. Class attendance is required and new attendance policy is in effect that should be reviewed on the course website prior to enrolling in this course. A $25 course fee applies.
