Medical Students

Personal Message from our Program Director

Welcome to all new and returning medical students to the Emergency Department (ED) at the Saint John Regional Hospital. I hope you find your time with us to be a rewarding experience, and that we can help you achieve your educational objectives.

The ED team is a multidisciplinary one that consists of physicians, RNs, LPNs, NPs, RTs, paramedics, pharmacy, PSWs, radiology and electrodiagnostic technologists, social work, spiritual care, environmental services (EVS), and administrative support staff. This team is dedicated to making your educational experience both fun and successful. Do not hesitate to ask questions to any member of our team, and take time to learn each members role and skillset within the department during your rotation. There is something to learn from everyone!

Your time in the emergency department will be a busy and exciting time, full of learning opportunities. The emergency department provides a unique opportunity for students to gain experience assessing and treating undifferentiated patients with a wide variety of medical conditions, as well as the chance to learn and practice many procedural skills. The skills and knowledge obtained during this rotation will prove useful to you throughout your career, no matter your choice of specialty.
