We describe the development and implementation of an office-based emergencies course for podiatric medical students. The program included a didactic session along with clinical skills stations incorporating task trainers, high-fidelity simulators, and a standardized patient. We tailored the course to the level of the junior podiatric medical student. The primary goal of this program was to provide a review on how to handle selected office-based medical emergencies. This course focused on complications of common chronic medical conditions, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, and hypertension, along with other unexpected emergencies, such as altered mental status, seizure, and syncope. In developing such a course, it is important to keep in mind the level of the learner and resources such as faculty availability and the facilities available for teaching.
