Art and Science of Resuscitation
The Art and Science of Resuscitation is a two-week emergency medicine simulation selective for medical students at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. Offered each spring, the course helps students understand the basic science behind resuscitation while building the clinical, communication, and leadership skills needed to care for critically ill patients.
Students learn core principles of resuscitation across a range of critical illness and emergency care scenarios. The course includes lectures from interdisciplinary simulation leaders, hands-on learning activities, and opportunities to practice leading and communicating during high-acuity patient care. The selective is consistently rated as one of the top courses in the medical school.

Emergency medicine interest group
The Emergency Medicine Interest Group, or EMIG, introduces University of Wisconsin medical students to the field of emergency medicine and supports students considering emergency medicine as a career. EMIG provides learning opportunities, career guidance, mentorship, and connections with emergency physicians, residents, and faculty at UW Health and the BerbeeWalsh Department of Emergency Medicine.
Department faculty and residents lead annual airway and ultrasound workshops for EMIG students. They also mentor students who are interested in emergency medicine, medical simulation, point-of-care ultrasound, resuscitation, and other career pathways within the specialty.
