Mission
Rush Emergency Medical Simulation (REMS) is a group aimed to provide hands-on learning tailored to the students in attendance. We organize events that take place in the ER with high fidelity mannequins , providing a realistic educational environment. Participants range from 1st year medical students to residents, fellows and attendings.
The simulations are open to and beneficial for all students regardless of interest. The skills you will practice are applicable to many specialties (and great preparation for your clerkships!). No outside work is required prior to the workshops, no work is required after them. These are fun, low-stress, high-yield 1-hour sessions held 3-4 times a year.
Student involvement can vary and is at the member’s discretion. Feel free to attend simulation workshops as they interest you or join the leadership committee to help us plan and proctor simulation workshops.
