“…These perspectives highlight the benefits and challenges of training experiences in GH and IEM. Trainees who are interested in undertaking placements in resource‐limited environments should review Box 1 in the article by Jamieson et al ., and consult the ACEM International Emergency Medicine Special Interest Group (IEMSIG) for more information…”

“…Although blueprints for the integration of GHT with EM training and PGME have previously been published, these data should catalyse efforts to further develop training options for specialty trainees. This should include the design, support and evaluation of opportunities for vocational trainees to undertake accredited rotations abroad that are safe, effective and ethically defensible.…”

“…30 These developments are in keeping with previous recommendations for the development of effective GEC training pathways. 25,31 A report on international models of GHT and their relevance to EM in ANZ counselled against the implementation of North American style, post-specialisation fellowships at individual hospitals, citing a number of challenges specific to the Australasian context (including the modicum of emergency physicians in ANZ with sufficient GEC experience and capacity to facilitate and supervise LMIC rotations). Rather, the report suggested a centralised model comprising mentoring, coursework, supervised field experiences and research as part of a longitudinal, modular GHT programme.…”

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.
