Emergency medicine is being established as a unique and independent specialty throughout the world. Two major models of emergency care delivery exist in the world today: the Anglo-American and the Franco-German model. Most countries developing new systems of emergency care are following the Anglo-American model and are recapitulating the sequence of steps taken to establish the systems of emergency medicine in the United States. The most important step in the development of emergency medicine in other countries is the recognition that emergency medicine incorporates a unique body of knowledge requiring specialized practitioners or emergency physicians. A global network of international emergency medicine is assisting the development of emergency medicine worldwide and now includes international organizations, academic institutions, and individuals in countries where emergency medicine is mature and their counterparts in countries where emergency medicine is developing. The multilevel exchange of information through various modalities, such as international conferences, physician exchange programs, and print or electronic media, is playing a vital role in the search for internationally applicable systems of emergency care.
急诊医学正在全世界范围内确立为一门独特且独立的专业。当今世界存在两种主要的急诊医疗服务模式：英美式和法德式。大多数正在发展新的急诊医疗系统的国家都在效仿英美式模式，并在重现美国建立急诊医学体系所采取的一系列步骤。在其他国家，急诊医学发展中最重要的一步是认识到急诊医学包含一套独特的知识体系，需要专业从业者即急诊医师。国际急诊医学全球网络正在协助全球急诊医学的发展，目前包括国际组织、学术机构，以及急诊医学成熟国家的个人和急诊医学发展中国家的同行。通过国际会议、医师交流项目以及印刷或电子媒体等各种方式进行的多层次信息交流，在寻求国际适用的急诊医疗系统方面发挥着至关重要的作用。
