ABSTRACT A study was conducted of 85 graduates of the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine to determine their perceptions of the quality of their graduate training and the status of their current practice. Participants were asked to use a scale of 1 to 5 (with 1 being a low or very poor rating, 5 being a high or very good rating) to rate their satisfaction with the structure of their training, the adequacy of the learning environment during training and the adequacy of their training relative to the emergency medicine curriculum. A response rate of 94% was achieved. Training in emergency departments (EDs) rated 4.0. Training in off-service rotations rated 3.6. The learning environment during training rated 3.8. The scope of educational experiences, access to teaching and research resources, and the quality and quantity of supervision by non-emergency physician specialists rated the lowest. The adequacy of their training relative to the curriculum rated 3.5, with a number of clinical areas including paediatrics, administrative aspects of emergency medicine and emergency medical systems, rated among the lowest. These perceptions in the context of the current practice of most graduates will help highlight the aspects of training that need further monitoring and improvement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
