Medical Student Rotation

The Emergency Department at CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital Memorial Corpus Christi is a busy regional trauma center with a wide mix of patient presentations.  Students have the opportunity to see acutely ill patients as they present to the ED and follow them through their emergency department stay until admission or discharge.

Memorial offers a four-week rotation to medical students.  In addition to direct patient care, students will also attend morning reports, participate in student specific reading assignments, ride with the Corpus Christ Fire Department EMS, and have the option of riding with the local aeromedical helicopter provider (HALO).

Our goal is to provide students with excellent access to patients and to faculty teaching in an enjoyable atmosphere for learning.   If you are interested in doing an Emergency Medicine rotation at CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital Memorial, please contact Laura Garcia, our Medical Student Education Coordinator, at (361) 902-4499 or ld.garcia@christushealth.org

Complimentary student housing at an upscale apartment complex is available on a limited basis.
