Emergency Medical Services (EMS) activities are a required component of Emergency Medicine (EM) residency training. To determine resident involvement with EMS, all 135 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited and 34 American Osteopathic Association-accredited EM residencies were surveyed in June 2005 regarding the EMS activities required of their residents. One hundred twelve surveys were completed (66% response rate). Observing with ground EMS is required in 88% (n = 98) of residencies; working as an EMS provider is required in 28% (n = 31). Helicopter-based EMS involvement is uncommon, only 16% (n = 18) require observing and 21% (n = 23) require working as a provider. Most residencies (60%, n = 67) allow optional helicopter observation. Insufficient time is the most common reason for limiting EMS activities. Residents routinely provide on-line medical command (79%, n = 88). Most residencies (72%, n = 81) require lecturing to prehospital personnel; a minority require serving as Advanced Cardiac Life Support (38%, n = 42) or Advanced Trauma Life Support (13%, n = 14) instructors. Disaster training is required of most residents (73%, n = 82), whereas providing medical care at a mass gathering is not frequently required (28%, n = 31). Except for reviewing EMS patient care reports (54%, n = 60), quality improvement activities are rarely required. Serving as a medical director or assistant medical director for an EMS service is seldom required (6%, n = 7), and most residencies (63%, n = 70) do not specifically provide financial support for EMS physician-related training.
紧急医疗服务(EMS)活动是急诊医学(EM)住院医师培训的必要组成部分。为了确定住院医师参与EMS的情况,2005年6月对所有135个经研究生医学教育认证委员会认证以及34个经美国骨病协会认证的EM住院医师培训项目进行了调查,了解其对住院医师所需的EMS活动要求。共完成了112份调查问卷(回复率为66%)。88%(n = 98)的住院医师培训项目要求参与地面EMS观察;28%(n = 31)要求担任EMS提供者。参与直升机EMS的情况并不常见,只有16%(n = 18)要求观察,21%(n = 23)要求担任提供者。大多数住院医师培训项目(60%,n = 67)允许选择性参与直升机观察。时间不足是限制EMS活动的最常见原因。住院医师常规提供在线医疗指挥(79%,n = 88)。大多数住院医师培训项目(72%,n = 81)要求为院前人员授课;少数要求担任高级心脏生命支持(38%,n = 42)或高级创伤生命支持(13%,n = 14)教员。大多数住院医师(73%,n = 82)需要接受灾难培训,而在大型集会中提供医疗服务的要求并不常见(28%,n = 31)。除了审查EMS患者护理报告(54%,n = 60)外,很少要求开展质量改进活动。很少要求担任EMS服务的医疗主任或助理医疗主任(6%,n = 7),大多数住院医师培训项目(63%,n = 70)没有专门为与EMS医师相关的培训提供资金支持。
