A questionnaire was mailed to every physician in Iowa (2,551) to determine their need for continued education in emergency medicine. There 884 usable responses (34.7%). Results revealed a low incidence of formal education in emergency medicine, particularly at the undergraduate and graduate levels, with a great incidence of continued education in the field. Approximately half of the responding physicians felt they treat an emergency patient at least once a week. The primary conclusion of the study is that continued education in basic emergency medical care is perceived as being necessary by physicians who are not specialists in emergency medicine, but, nevertheless, treat patients with medical emergencies. Physicians were most interested in education in basic life saving procedures, such as airway maintenance and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
一份调查问卷被邮寄给了爱荷华州的每一位医生（共2551人），以确定他们对急诊医学继续教育的需求。共收到884份有效回复（回复率为34.7%）。结果显示，急诊医学方面的正规教育发生率较低，尤其是在本科和研究生阶段，而该领域的继续教育发生率较高。大约一半的回复医生表示，他们每周至少会治疗一名急诊患者。该研究的主要结论是，对于并非急诊医学专科医生但却治疗急诊患者的医生来说，基本急诊医疗护理方面的继续教育被认为是必要的。医生们对诸如气道维护和心肺复苏等基本救生程序的教育最为感兴趣。
