The Emergency Medicine Interest Group at MUSC is a student run organization geared towards those interested in Emergency Medicine as a specialty and career choice. We hold regular monthly meetings that include both hands-on clinical skills labs and interactive presentations with Emergency Medicine Faculty and Residents (from surrounding areas).  We also include topics such as: the history of Emergency Medicine, lifestyle choices of EM physicians, and issues of importance to Emergency Medicine (e.g. litigation and overcrowding).

Third year medical students benefit from information sessions focused on planning their fourth year, choosing the time and location of their EM rotation, and choosing an EM residency.  1st and 2nd years have the opportunity to shadow physicians in a level 1 trauma center during the school year.  Starting July 2007, medical students at MUSC will have the opportunity to work hand in hand with EM residents. 

EMIG was formed in the Spring of 1995 by Dr. Neil Gillespie, Bob Greaves, Ed Eastman with the help of emergency medicine physician, Dr. Rick Guobaitis, and was recognized by student government in the Fall of 1996.   Dr. Jeff Bush is the Faculty Advisor and following the addition of the Emergency Medicine Residency Program at MUSC, our Resident Advisor is Dr. Jamie Kuo.
