Emergency medicine (EM) has recently been recognized as a specialty in India and formal training programmes are yet to be developed.
A survey was devised to elicit the opinion of recently graduated physicians in Chennai, India about EM as well as about the current state of EM in India. A convenience sample of 130 respondents filled out a 21-question survey.
Ninety-four per cent of respondents stated that EM was essential for providing quality healthcare; 94% of respondents felt there needs to be a change in emergency departments in India, with only 20% stating they were proud of the emergency departments in India. Seventy-six per cent of respondents were more likely to consider EM if the specialty was recognized by the Medical Council of India and 76% were inclined to pursue the specialty if there were more training programmes.
Recently graduated physicians found flaws in the current state of emergency care in India; however, overall they remain interested in the field of EM.
急诊医学（EM）最近在印度被认可为一个专业领域，但尚未制定正式的培训计划。
设计了一项调查，以了解印度钦奈近期毕业的医生对急诊医学以及印度急诊医学现状的看法。130名受访者的便利样本填写了一份包含21个问题的调查问卷。
94%的受访者表示急诊医学对于提供高质量医疗保健至关重要；94%的受访者认为印度的急诊科需要变革，只有20%的受访者表示他们为印度的急诊科感到自豪。如果该专业得到印度医学委员会的认可，76%的受访者更有可能考虑从事急诊医学；如果有更多的培训计划，76%的受访者倾向于从事该专业。
近期毕业的医生发现了印度当前急诊护理状况中的缺陷；然而，总体而言，他们仍然对急诊医学领域感兴趣。
