As emergency medicine (EM) has developed as a medical specialty throughout the world, each country has followed its own path to official recognition. Despite a successful EM model in the United States, some countries, especially those that require government approval of new medical specialties, have often found it difficult to attain recognition. As of early 2009, Argentina had yet to recognize EM as an official specialty, although some regional governments have acknowledged the specialty's status. The Argentine Society of EM has taken a number of steps and proposed educational paths to EM specialization to convince Argentina's political decision-makers that Emergency Medicine is a fundamental step toward a modern medical system. Such national recognition would further an already thriving EM community and improve the quality of patient care in Argentina. To assist colleagues around the world who are pursuing or will pursue this goal, this article outlines Argentina's complex and ongoing path to specialty recognition.
随着急诊医学（EM）在全球范围内发展成为一门医学专科，每个国家都沿着自己的道路获得官方认可。尽管美国有成功的急诊医学模式，但一些国家，尤其是那些需要政府批准新医学专科的国家，往往发现难以获得认可。截至2009年初，阿根廷尚未将急诊医学认可为官方专科，尽管一些地区政府已经承认了该专科的地位。阿根廷急诊医学协会已采取了一系列措施，并提出了急诊医学专科化的教育途径，以说服阿根廷的政治决策者，急诊医学是迈向现代医疗体系的重要一步。这种国家层面的认可将进一步推动本已蓬勃发展的急诊医学领域，并提高阿根廷的患者护理质量。为了帮助世界各地正在或将要追求这一目标的同行，本文概述了阿根廷获得专科认可的复杂且仍在进行的历程。
