Lecture Hall, Emergency Medicine

Emergency Medicine (EM) is a distinct specialty that focuses on the initial evaluation, diagnosis, resuscitation, and stabilization of patients with acute illness and injury. The training requirements set forth in the ACEP Emergency Ultrasound Guidelines includes an ultrasound core curriculum. UTHSCSA Emergency Medicine believes that opportunities to obtain skills above and beyond this minimum standard must be provided to residents in order to succeed in the pursuit of “making lives better”.

In support of this goal, Facilities Management recently completed construction of a 1,700 sf Lecture Hall with a seating capacity of 150 students. The learning environment can be adjusted through reconfiguration of the tables and chairs, on wheels, for lectures or collaborative learning sessions. A state of the art audio visual system provides multimedia learning. Teleconferencing capabilities further extend the learning environment between other UTHSCSA facilities, to the Regional Campus in Laredo and with outside entities.
