The absence of local Emergency Medical Services (EMS) educational programs in Bahrain has given rise to an EMS workforce comprised predominantly of expatriate personnel with varying educational backgrounds that require further training before being licensed as EMS providers in Bahrain.
A qualitative variance analysis was performed comparing desired core competencies for EMS practice in neighbouring Saudi Arabia, used as a comparator for Bahrain, with core competencies extracted from national curricula of the major countries from which expatriate providers originate.
Major core competencies not covered by the expatriate providers' curricula were identified as follows: working in an autonomous environment, requiring different critical thinking and decision-making skills, assessment and treatment during transportation, disaster response, EMS knowledge base, and coping with the different stressors of the prehospital environment.
These results can form the basis for additional customized training programs for expatriate EMS providers working in Bahrain, with the goal of improving and standardizing EMS care in the country.
巴林当地缺乏紧急医疗服务（EMS）教育项目，这导致其紧急医疗服务人员队伍主要由具有不同教育背景的外籍人员组成，这些人员在获得巴林紧急医疗服务提供者执照之前需要进一步培训。
进行了一项定性差异分析，将邻国沙特阿拉伯作为巴林的对照，比较沙特阿拉伯紧急医疗服务实践所需的核心能力与从外籍服务人员来源主要国家的国家课程中提取的核心能力。
确定外籍服务人员课程未涵盖的主要核心能力如下：在自主环境中工作，需要不同的批判性思维和决策技能、运输过程中的评估和治疗、灾害应对、紧急医疗服务知识库以及应对院前环境的不同压力源。
这些结果可为在巴林工作的外籍紧急医疗服务提供者制定额外的定制培训项目提供依据，目标是改善和规范该国的紧急医疗服务护理。
