This article has presented an overview of the duties, responsibilities, and management roles of the emergency department Medical Director, a position that can be among the most challenging, stimulating, and exciting in medicine. However, prior to accepting a position as an Emergency Department medical director, one should have a clear understanding of what the job entails. Careful discussions with the hospital administration, medical staff, nursing personnel, and staff emergency physicians should be undertaken to learn the perceptions of these people and expectations of the position. Once the job has been accepted, using the roles, responsibilities, and duties detailed herein may be of benefit--but should always be applied with good judgment, tactful cooperation, and common sense. Finally, it should not be surprising to a medical director to find, as Spinoza did many years ago, that the excellent thing he aspires to are as difficult as they are rare.
本文概述了急诊科医疗主任的职责、责任和管理角色，这一职位可能是医学领域中最具挑战性、刺激性和令人兴奋的职位之一。然而，在接受急诊科医疗主任一职之前，应清楚了解这项工作的具体内容。应与医院管理层、医务人员、护理人员和急诊科在职医师进行认真讨论，以了解这些人员的看法和对该职位的期望。一旦接受了这份工作，运用本文详述的角色、责任和职责可能会有所帮助——但应始终以良好的判断力、巧妙的合作和常识来加以应用。最后，正如斯宾诺莎多年前发现的那样，医疗主任会发现他所追求的卓越之事既困难又罕见，这并不奇怪。
