Over the years of advising medical students interested in Emergency Medicine as a career choice, I often point them to the SAEM website where there are many practical tips and FAQs written by EM faculty across the country. Recently, I discovered that the University of Southern California EM Medical Student Symposium from 2008 was videotaped and posted online. These free video clips are a great resource for those of you advising medical students.Go to USC's EM Core Content website.
