Emergency Room Faculty at Florida Hospital North Pinellas
Teaching will be done on a one-on-one basis. Students will be assigned to emergency room shifts in such a way that they experience emergency activities during the day, night, and weekends. Preceptors will be emergency room physicians also trained in primary care and family practice. If desired, students may accompany EMTs in ambulances.
In the emergency room, the student will initially assess each patient and propose treatment plans. The student may elect to follow the admitted ER patients throughout their hospital stay. Under the direct preceptor supervision, the student may perform simple procedures. These may include suturing, insertion of the catheters, IVs, injections, and others as appropriate.
For FHNP: contact Dr. Michael Longley at (727) 943-3699 or (813) 769-7252.
