Medical Student
Sub-Internships
We are excited to welcome visiting medical students to TriStar EM! Sub-Internship rotations are only open to senior medical students who are applying in Emergency Medicine. This is an advanced EM experience, and we expect students to have completed a previous EM rotation prior to participation. Applications are processed through Clinician Nexus; use the link below to begin the free application process.
All interested students should prepare a Statement of Interest and submit it along with their application. Your statement should highlight your commitment to the field of EM as well as your specific interest in TriStar EM and/or Nashville.
