Hello, med students. This is Zach Olson. It is clerkship season. If you are heading into

emergency medicine and need to crush your upcoming EM rotation, then I highly encourage you to check

out EM Clerkship's Procrastinator's Guide to Emergency Medicine. This course is not the same as what you

get on the podcast. It is condensed in high yield designed so that you can hit the ground running and make a great first impression in the ER.
