To determine the status of undergraduate education in emergency medicine, questionnaires were sent to 141 medical schools. Of the 135 schools responding, 15.2% require emergency medicine courses in the fourth year (mean, 164 hours); 11.9% require these courses (average, 84 hours) in the third year. Emergency medicine is offered in 21.8% of second-year and 37.9% of first-year curriculums. Training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation is offered in 96% of the schools responding, and certification is required in 53%. Training in advanced cardiac life support is offered in 73% of schools, with 23% requiring it for graduation. Training in advanced trauma life support is offered in 17.2% of schools. Osteopathic schools require more time for emergency medicine in the clinical years but less time in formal lectures. Schools with a residency program in emergency medicine more frequently offer emergency medicine in the preclinical years. This survey provides some basic data on the status of undergraduate emergency medicine education in medical school curriculums, and it encourages medical educators to review the undergraduate curriculum to ensure that students receive adequate exposure to the essentials of emergency medicine.
为确定急诊医学本科教育的现状，向141所医学院校发放了问卷。在回复的135所学校中，15.2%要求在第四年开设急诊医学课程（平均164小时）；11.9%要求在第三年开设这些课程（平均84小时）。21.8%的二年级课程和37.9%的一年级课程提供急诊医学教学。在回复的学校中，96%提供心肺复苏培训，53%要求获得认证。73%的学校提供高级心脏生命支持培训，23%要求毕业时具备该培训。17.2%的学校提供高级创伤生命支持培训。整骨医学院在临床年需要更多时间用于急诊医学，但在正式讲座方面所需时间较少。设有急诊医学住院医师培训项目的学校在临床前几年更频繁地开设急诊医学课程。这项调查提供了一些关于医学院校本科急诊医学教育现状的基础数据，并鼓励医学教育工作者审查本科课程，以确保学生充分接触急诊医学的基本内容。
