Objectives to direct the training of emergency medicine residents on off-service rotations: emergency medical services.

Emergency Medical Services are an area of special interest in emergency medicine. Many emergency physicians are called upon to direct, train, or manage emergency medical services. Residents training in emergency medicine have a need for a defined curriculum in emergency medical services. Residency training should provide a basic foundation in EMS including on- and off-line medical control, medicolegal aspects, communications, disaster management, and EMS history, structure, and function. The resident must gain experience through on-scene observation, EMT/Paramedic education, medical direction, and quality assurance activities. This paper is one in a continuing series of goals and objectives to direct resident training in off-service rotations. Specific resources, learning objectives, and experiences are suggested.

Objectives to direct the training of emergency medicine residents on off-service rotations: critical care medicine, Part 1.

This article is the first of two parts outlining the objectives for a resident rotating in the intensive care unit (ICU). It is part of a larger continuing series on the goals and objectives to direct the training of emergency medicine residents on off-service rotations. The critical care unit is a valuable rotation that allows the resident to see and care for critically ill patients, many of whom present initially to the emergency department. Critical care is a logical continuum for the sick and injured patient as he moves from the prehospital and emergency department (ED) settings to the ICU. These objectives are designed to focus the resident's reading and study during a critical care rotation.

Objectives to direct the training of emergency medicine residents on off-service rotations: critical care medicine, Part 2.

This article is the second of two parts outlining the objectives for resident rotations in intensive care units. It is part of a larger continuing series on the goals and objectives to direct the training of emergency medicine residents on off-service rotations. The critical care unit allows the resident an opportunity to provide continuing care for critically ill patients, many of whom enter the health care system through the emergency department. Critical care medicine is a natural continuum of emergency medicine, and provides the resident with the ability to follow the natural progression of seriously ill patients, as well as build confidence and experience in caring for the critically ill and injured. These objectives are designed to help focus the resident's reading and study during the rotation.

Objectives to direct the training of emergency medicine residents on off-service rotation: otolaryngology.

This is the sixth article in a continuing series on objectives for emergency medicine training; otolaryngological objectives will be presented. Otolaryngological skills and knowledge areas are frequently encountered in clinical practice. The Core Content in emergency medicine devotes an entire section to their listing. Off-service rotations provide some one-half of all rotational-based experience in emergency medicine training. Specific behaviorally based objectives for mastery of knowledge and skill areas provide guidance in a training rotation not directly under emergency medicine faculty supervision. References are suggested for additional and supportive information and reinforcement in skill and knowledge area mastery. These objectives are presented to aid in directing training of emergency medicine residents on an otolaryngological service.
