There is non existent teaching in emergency medicine at all levels of undergraduate curriculum. There are only a handful of colleges where focussed EM training is mandatory for mbbs students. Otherwise it just the "casualty" postings where students are taught emergencies concerned with a particular specialty. Not as a whole
For Indian Emergency Medicine!

Please pardon the cliche but the general question everywhere is "Who will bell the cat"?
Who is to decide what to teach and the scope of EM curriculum?
Every specialist tends to look at a patient from his own "Prism of specialization".Obviously,only someone trained formally in EM can do this job.

Elsewhere I had mentioned that EM has to develop from the "Inside-Out" .This is another example of what I meant.
The handful of places where EM is being taught at present are doing an excellent but thankless job.

It is all the more important for us trained EM doctors to ****ume the role of teachers so that we all can define our academic scope ourselves .

These important points regarding scope of EM training,the road map of EM development should also come up for discussion at brainstorming sessions at conferences like EMCON/INTEM so that all of us are at a common level of understanding.

It will take a while ------ to make mistakes,learn from them and again improvise.Only after this can we lay a claim to EM having truly arrived in India.
