Welcome to the LSU Emergency Department!
Nowhere else in America can you find a more exciting place in which to
experience emergency medicine. LSU – EMIG is proud to be able to
allow its members the opportunity to volunteer in this unique environment.
Please use the following guidelines and rules when volunteering at LSU
Interim Hospital:
v
Join EMIG/pay dues.

Send an email to Thomas Cullen requesting three dates and times you
would like to volunteer along with your name and class year.
o Students
can volunteer after 9pm on weekdays and any time on weekends for any amount
of time. Most patients go to the ED between 8am-8pm. Shifts of 4-8 hours
are recommended.
o To
avoid overcrowding only two students at a time will be scheduled to
volunteer at University

you do while volunteering will depend on your skill level and what you are
comfortable doing.

and LSUMC ID at all times while in the ED.

When you arrive at LSU Interim Hospital
(University Hospital), locate the Staff ED physician and identify yourself
as an EMIG member there to volunteer. He/she will then direct you to
someone whom you may follow for the duration of your time there.

It is necessary to complete an ED Authorization Form and have it signed
by an attending at the end of the shift.
