Medical students apply to share real cases covering foundational EM content in 10 minute presentations that promote clinical reasoning, improve knowledge, and support professional development in medical education. Each case series hour features three student presenters, and one resident or faculty presenter. Resident and faculty presenters offer clinical pearls while showcasing the strengths of the residency program they represent.
