BACKGROUND:In Iran, few studies have evaluated emergency medicine as a career option. In the present study, we aimed to find out how Iranian emergency-medicine specialists view their specialty as a career. METHODS:Following a qualitative study, a Likert-scale questionnaire was developed. Iranian emergency physician specialists who had at least two years' job experience were contacted via email. A uniform link to a Web-based survey and a cover letter that explained the survey were sent to the recipients. We used the Kruskal-Wallis test and post hoc analysis to determine the differences between demographic subgroups. RESULTS:A total of 109 eligible responses were received, a response rate of 72.63%. Of the responders, 57.8% were 30-40 years of age, 86.2% were male, 86.2% were single, 84.4% were faculty members and 90.8% had fewer than 10 years' job experience. The main problems occurring during the career of Iranian emergency physicians were: insuffi cient income, inadequate recognition of the specialty by the community, inadequate union support, insecurity in the emergency wards, overcrowding, job stresses and night shifts. Despite insufficiency of income, Iranian emergency physicians (EPs) did not care about the financial benefits of patient care. Academic activity had positive effects on the perspectives of Iranian emergency physicians regarding their careers. CONCLUSION:Iranian emergency physicians and leaders in emergency medicine should struggle to improve the present situation, aiming at an ideal state.

“…This included a Medline search and a hand search of the Annals of Emergency Medicine and the Emergency Medicine Journal over the last 5 years. These searches revealed only one relevant study which focused on negative stigma attached to a career in EM, linking this to “professional distancing”, isolation and perceived communication difficulties 8. These findings advocate the need for further studies such as this one in the area of interprofessional relations.…”
