Beginning in Spring of 2009 Texas EMIG, working in conjunction with Baylor’s anatomy lab faculty and using donations from the Ben Taub Emergency Center, began using unembalmed cadavers to teach emergency medical procedures and skills to preclinical and clinical medical students. In a typical two hour long procedure work shop, participating medical students are taught how to suture, place chest tubes, manage a patient’s airway and intubate among other skills. In addition, advanced skills such as cricothyrotomy are demonstrated by emergency medicine attendings. In this unique learning environment medical students receive detailed instruction and didactic teaching from Emergency Medicine faculty as well as 3rd and 4th year EMIG TA’s who as clinical students looking to enter Emergency Medicine are afforded the opportunity to practice, master and teach these skills far before they ever have to perform them on a real patient.  This is by far the most integrative and extensive procedural experience that students are offered in medical school. It embodies the commitment of Texas EMIG members to advancing not only their own education but those of their peers in the hopes of assuring that its members are some of the most clinically adept students on the wards and applying to residency programs.
