A Deep Dive into Emergency Medicine and the EMS subspecialty
In this episode of the Black Doctors Podcast, Dr. Steven Bradley welcomes back Dr. Bernice Fokum to delve deeper into her medical journey. In the beginning, Dr. Bernice had a broad interest in medicine, spanning from pediatrics to pediatric neurology. Her choices were influenced by her involvement in child development, and as she underwent various rotations during her studies, she found herself enamored with every specialty, leading to some professional confusion.
However, her rotation in emergency medicine at Emory University became a defining moment in her career. Dr. Bernice praises emergency medicine as the crucial “front door” of the hospital, essential for initial diagnostics and patient care. The immediate, hands-on nature of the field, especially its direct resuscitation and rapid diagnosis methods, resonated deeply with her.
Dr. Bradley concludes the episode by touching upon the unique application requirements of emergency medicine and hints at an in-depth discussion about Dr. Bernice’s ongoing fellowship in the subsequent episode.
