Abstract
Student interest groups offer many additional educational opportunities for medical
students. The discipline of Emergency Medicine is uniquely positioned to provide medical
students with additional resources that may enhance student involvement in clinical
and community projects. Because of Emergency Medicine’s strong intrinsic ties with
both clinical medicine and the surrounding community, students can use Emergency Medicine
student interest groups to implement programs designed to help them gain clinical
exposure, fuel research ideas, serve the local community, and most importantly, better
themselves as medical students. Such opportunities can be advantageous to medical
students entering any medical specialty. Thus, Emergency Medicine student interest
groups are a unique and valuable educational resource for all medical students, providing
many opportunities for students to enhance their medical education.
