“…18 A number of ACEM trainees have undertaken accredited placements in RL settings, with anecdotal evidence of a strong, positive effect on their emergency medicine (EM) training and practice. 22 In recent years, the College has developed formal guidelines for the accreditation of GEC special skills terms, 23 and a partnership with AVI (formerly Australian Volunteers International) to facilitate trainee deployments and GEC partnerships in the Pacific. 22,24 Despite reasonably strong uptake of these opportunities, demand for GHT among EM trainees in ANZ has not been quantified.…”

Objective Demand for global health (GH) training and experiences among emergency medicine trainees is unknown. The primary objective of the Trainee Interest in Global Health Training (TIGHT) study was to quantify the number of trainees interested in completing a rotation in a resource‐limited environment within a low‐ or middle‐income country during their specialty training. Methods A cross‐sectional study of trainees in seven specialty training programmes was conducted between August and October 2018. Data were collected using a voluntary, anonymous, self‐reporting, web‐based survey. This study describes the results of a planned sub‐group analysis of ACEM trainees. Results There were 203 respondents among 2525 ACEM trainees. Although only a small number (36/198, 18.2%) had undertaken a GH experience as a specialty trainee, 85.6% (167/195) were keen to do so. The vast majority of respondents (179/194, 87.1%) were interested or very interested in having their GH experience accredited for training, but 68.9% (133/193) reported that accessing a suitable placement was a barrier. More than 79% (147/186) expressed interest in undertaking an integrated GH training or fellowship programme as an adjunct to specialty training. Conclusions Notwithstanding the limitations of a self‐reporting survey with a sub‐optimal response rate, there is significant demand for GH training and experiences among ACEM trainees. These findings should inform the development of safe and effective global emergency care training pathways, underpinned by mutually beneficial, international partnerships with educational and development objectives.

“…The Trainee Focus section in this edition of Emergency Medicine Australasia explores training in global health (GH) and international emergency medicine (IEM). In the article by Thurtle et al ., several emergency medicine (EM) registrars describe the benefits and challenges of working in resource‐limited settings, and Phillips provides insights based on her experience as a mentor and remote supervisor . This introductory piece outlines recent developments in GH training, and reflects on the IEM learning opportunities currently available to Australasian EM trainees.…”
