This is a difficult area to convince people about, since EM is a new in India. One thing clear is that EM will grow and develop further. We definitely expect it to grow as a specialty.

Emergency physicians can find work in any major hospitals where emergency departments exist. The only problem is that it will take a while till hospitals start phasing out casualty medical officers (CMOs) and duty doctors, and start placing emergency physicians in their place. This will happen as soon as the general public become aware and start demanding trained emergency medicine physicians to evaluate them in the emergency departments.

"Quality emergency care is a fundamental individual right & should be available to all who seek it."
