Abstract:
There is general agreement that residents in the field of emergency medicine require extensive training in emergency medical services (EMS). This paper outlines a comprehensive four-year training program in EMS that has been integrated into the emergency medicine residency curriculum of the University of Cincinnati since 1985. The EMS program is comprehensive and makes it possible for the level and type of EMS activities that are provided to match the evolving expertise of the resident. The program provides a significant amount of practical training in ground and aeromedical transport, in disaster work, in telemetry communications, and in other areas. Evaluation of the program is at an early stage but informal reports are strongly positive.
