Increasing numbers of patients are presenting to national emergency departments (EDs). This is occurring simultaneously with reductions in providers along with ED closures, creating a significant gap in emergency care. According to the advanced practice registered nurse consensus model, specialty-specific knowledge and practice build upon generalist nurse practitioner (NP) population foci. Although the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties provides guidelines for educational programs at the NP population level, determination of core specialty knowledge lies with specialty organizations. Emergency nurse practitioners (ENPs) require additional specialty-specific education to manage patients spanning age and acuity continuums. Although certification mechanisms are now in place to recognize NP specialty knowledge, a nationally standardized curriculum remains to be proposed. This article proposes core educational content for ENP specialty education; the utility of this content may serve as the foundation for the development of standardized ENP academic and postgraduate fellowship programs.
越来越多的患者前往国家急诊科就诊。与此同时，急诊科的医护人员数量在减少，且急诊科关闭的情况也在出现，这在紧急护理方面造成了巨大差距。根据高级实践注册护士共识模型，特定专科知识和实践建立在全科护士从业者（NP）的人群关注点之上。虽然国家护士从业者教师组织为NP人群层面的教育项目提供了指导方针，但核心专科知识的确定由专科组织负责。急诊护士从业者（ENP）需要额外的特定专科教育，以管理不同年龄和病情严重程度的患者。尽管现在已有认证机制来认可NP的专科知识，但仍有待提出全国标准化的课程。本文提出了ENP专科教育的核心教育内容；这些内容的实用性可作为标准化ENP学术和研究生奖学金项目发展的基础。
