For EM site evaluations we met over zoom to discuss H&Ps, pharm cards, and journal articles. At the first site visit I presented an H&P from a patient I saw during my first week in the ED. The patient complained of leg pain and swelling and had multiple risk factors for DVT/PE. I thought it was an interesting patient because it showed the thorough physical exam and workup that was done in order to rule out DVT/PE. I also presented 5 pharm cards about various medications that were used in the ED during my first week.

At the second site visit I presented another H&P, a journal article, and more pharm cards. I presented a patient with a history of myopericarditis who presents with chest pain. I also presented a journal article about myopericarditis after various vaccinations. We discussed myopericarditis and reports of the disease in adolescents and young adults after COVID vaccines.
