Accident & Emergency (SPK3121)
Accident and emergency are the most challenging situations in medicine. The traditional approach of history taking, examination, investigation, etc is clearly inappropriate in an emergency situation. The need for immediate life-saving treatment not only places great demand on clinical skills, but also challenges the physician’s character. It is hope that this module will expose the students to these challenges. In the fifth year, (Semester IX &X) the student will be posted to the Accident and Emergency Department for one-week rotation in Accident & Emergency (A&E). The teaching in the A&E posting will consist of seminars and clinical sessions comprising of bedside teaching, ward rounds and case presentation in the A&E Department of Hospital Kuala Lumpur. Student are also expected o perform clinical duties under supervision. Students will be supervised by the clinical staff of the A&E Department of Hospital Serdang and overseen by the A&E Posting Coordinator of FPSK UPM. Course Offer by Semester
