Emergency Physicians have very different skills from what Intensivists have. Although the airway management and a few other skills are common to both specialties.

EM already has its own society in India called SOCIETY OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE, INDIA (SEMI) which was formed in 1999.

There are already PG courses for emergency medicine in India. All of them are concentrated in South India.
