Emergency Medicine is a system-based specialty that deals with unscheduled and undifferentiated patients 24/7 throughout the year. This unique programme offers high school students an experiential learning opportunity in emergency care.

- Response to major trauma;
- Observation of pre-hospital and hospital care to emergency patients;
