“…In response to early highly positive reviews of interactive sessions and requests for similar additional sessions, efforts were made to increase the frequency of simulation sessions, workshops, case‐based discussions, and small‐group activities during the latter half of the course. In light of similar learner preferences observed in other medium‐duration EM programs, these findings strongly suggest the importance of such modalities to learner satisfaction in these settings 21,22 . Furthermore, we believe that expedient adaptation to learner needs, such as the above‐mentioned, is essential to optimizing the success of novel programs.…”

“…This evaluation of CPEM adds significantly to the small body of existing work evaluating the use of medium‐duration EM training programs to educate physicians to bridge the gap during the early development of EM specialty training in a region 21‐24 . Both CPEM learner groups saw an improvement in pre‐ and postprogram scores on matched questions; however, greater improvement was seen among the CPEM‐C learners (Figure 1A).…”

Background: Pakistan has an underdeveloped and overburdened emergency care system, with most emergency departments (EDs) staffed by physicians not formally trained in emergency medicine (EM). As of January 2020, only nine Pakistani institutions were providing formal EM specialty training; therefore, a training program of shorter duration is needed in the interim. Methods: The Certification Program in Emergency Medicine (CPEM) is a 1-year training program in EM consisting of two arms: CPEM-Clinical (CPEM-C), which includes physicians from The Indus Hospital (TIH) ED, and CPEM-Didactic (CPEM-D), including physicians from EDs across Karachi. Both groups participate in weekly conferences, including didactics, small-group discussions, workshops, and journal clubs. CPEM-C learners also receive clinical mentorship from visiting international and TIH EM faculty. Both groups were assessed with preprogram, midterm, and final examinations as well as on clinical skills. Additionally, both groups provided regular feedback on program content and administration. Results: Twenty-five of the 32 initially enrolled learners completed the program in June 2019. Scores on a matched set of 50 questions administered in the pretest and final examination improved by an average of 15.1% (p < 0.005) for CPEM-C learners and 8.5% (p < 0.0005) for CPEM-D learners, with 93% of learners showing improvement. Clinical evaluations of CPEM-C and CPEM-D learners during the first and fourth quarters showed an average improvement of 1.1 out of 5 (p < 0.05) and 1.2 out of 9 (p < 0.0005) points, respectively. Learner evaluations of the program were overall positive. Conclusions: CPEM demonstrated significant improvement in test scores and clinical evaluations in both program arms. Evaluations also suggested that the program was

“…For example, an emergency care education and training partnership in Italy was established to train non–EM‐trained physicians actively practicing in emergency departments. Evaluation metrics included pre‐ and posttests, as well as self‐assessment . More comprehensive evaluation methodologies were employed in a program developed in postconflict Rwanda .…”

Global emergency medicine (EM) is a rapidly growing field within EM, as evidenced by the increasing number of trainees and clinicians pursuing additional experiences in global health and emergency care. In particular, many trainees now desire opportunities at the postgraduate level by way of global EM fellowship programs. Despite this growing popularity, little is known of the effects of postgraduate training in global health and emergency care on learners and patients in the United States and abroad. During the 2013 Academic Emergency Medicine consensus conference on global health and emergency care, a group of leading educators at the postgraduate medical education level convened to generate a research agenda of pressing questions to be answered in this area.
