Our Mission
The Emergency Medicine Interest Group (EMIG) is a student organization at East Tennessee State University’s James H. Quillen College of Medicine. This group will work closely with the Emergency Department at Johnson City Medical Center (JCMC), Bristol Regional Hospital, and with local Emergency Medicine Boarded Physicians as well as local EMS in order to foster and develop awareness and interest in the specialty of Emergency Medicine amongst the medical student population; to facilitate interested students to develop highly competitive Residency Applications; to assist in the education of medical students in areas of medicine specifically related to Emergency Medicine. EMIG is a highly active group and are always looking for fun and innovative ways to increase our student’s awareness of emergency medicine and foster growth in that. EMIG typically hosts multiple residency directors from many highly competitive programs for presentation and Q&A sessions, skills workshops, and our annual EMS XTLS Conference. The involved students who make up EMIG have also worked hard to build a support base amongst local emergency providers & physicians enabling our members to often get time outside of class learning from those that live this exciting field everyday.

Emergency Medicine Interest Group
The Emergency Medical Services Experiential Team Based Learning and Simulation (XTLS) conference is a unique learning experience hosted at the ETSU James H. Quillen College of Medicine. The conference, now entering it's third year, is hosted by the Emergency Medicine Interest Group for EMS providers and others in the emergency community. Many of the members here at Quillen discovered their passion for medicine out in the field as EMT’s and Paramedics. Just like many in the industry they had sat through countless traditional didactic continuing education events that held minimal benefit for truly enriching them as professionals. The emergency interest group recognized a need here for a different method of instruction to better engage the participants and hone their knowledge. XTLS brings highly skilled EMS providers and other emergency personnel from all over the region together to work on skills and gain knowledge through hands on simulation and experience. Through the use our state of the art simulation lab, cadaver anatomy lab, and instruction from a group of physicians and other professionals that lead their fields XTLS provides participants with an educational experience second to none.
