Emergency medical services (EMS) are provided in the difficult and unpredictable conditions of prehospital settings. Therefore, EMS students need to receive quality education to acquire considerable knowledge and skills. This qualitative study aimed to explore the educational challenges in medical emergency students.
This qualitative study was carried out in 2019 using qualitative content analysis. Participants were fourteen undergraduate EMS students purposively recruited from Hamadan University of Medical Sciences, Hamadan, Iran. Data collection was done through semi-structured interviews and continued up to data saturation. Data were analyzed using the conventional content analysis approach explained by Graneheim and Lundman.
The four main categories of the challenges of EMS education were shortcomings of the clinical education environment, lack of qualified EMS instructors, deficit of the curriculum, and theory-practice gap.
During their university education, EMS students face different challenges. For effective training, more coordination is needed among the emergency medical board, faculty members and EMS managers. It is also recommended that the curriculum should be revised.
急诊医疗服务（EMS）是在院前环境的困难和不可预测条件下提供的。因此，急诊医疗服务专业的学生需要接受高质量的教育，以获得丰富的知识和技能。本定性研究旨在探讨急诊医学专业学生面临的教育挑战。
本定性研究于2019年采用定性内容分析法进行。参与者是从伊朗哈马丹医科大学有意招募的14名急诊医疗服务专业本科学生。通过半结构化访谈收集数据，持续到数据饱和。使用Graneheim和Lundman解释的传统内容分析方法对数据进行分析。
急诊医疗服务教育挑战的四个主要类别是临床教育环境的缺陷、缺乏合格的急诊医疗服务教师、课程不足以及理论与实践的差距。
在大学教育期间，急诊医疗服务专业的学生面临不同的挑战。为了进行有效的培训，急诊医疗委员会、教员和急诊医疗服务管理人员之间需要更多的协调。还建议修订课程。
