Medical Student Perceptions on the Instruction of the Emergency Medicine Oral Case Presentation.
The emergency medicine oral case presentation (EM OCP) is the clinician's communication tool to justify whether urgent intervention is required, to argue for ruling out emergent disease states, and to propose safe disposition plans in the context of triaging patients for medical care and prioritization of resources. The EM OCP provides the representation of the practice of emergency medicine, yet we do not know the current level of effectiveness of its instruction. ⋯ This study identifies a need for additional specific and consistent teaching of the EM OCP to medical students and their preference on how to receive this instruction.
