Emergency Medicine Clerkship: Clinical Skills Experience Portfolio

Emergency Medicine Clerkship - Syllabus (PDF)

Students are required to submit their CSEP electronically to the Clerkship Site Director for review at both the midpoint and the end of the clerkship. Instructions for accessing and entering data into CSEP in OASIS are under Clerkship Overview on AIMS.
