FAQs

Emergency medicine is a field of practice based on the knowledge and skills required for the prevention, diagnosis and management of the acute and urgent aspects of illness and injury affecting patients of all age groups with a full spectrum of undifferentiated physical and behavioral disorders. It is a specialty in which time is critical.

An emergency is commonly defined as any condition perceived by the prudent layperson, or someone on his or her behalf, as requiring immediate medical or surgical evaluation and treatment. The practice of emergency medicine has the primary mission of evaluating, managing and providing treatment to these patients with unexpected injury or illness.

If you love challenges of diagnosing, stabilizing and treating very sick patients in extremely short spans of time, then you will like EM. Do not choose EM just because someone else has advised you to do so. There is no point in working in a casualty or ER where emergency medicine is not established. Similarly, there is absolutely no point in taking career advice or comments from people who have no experience of working in EM. Only qualified emergency physicians who have worked in independent emergency departments know what it’s like to be working in EM and they are the best individuals to get advice from. Practice in EM demands excellent communication skills and knowledge of human psychology. An emergency physician has to deal, as well as establish rapport, with patients and their attenders who are in an extremely stressful situation of an unexpected emergency.

Quality emergency care is a fundamental individual right & should be available to all who seek it. The emergency medicine in India is rapidly evolving, with an increasing focus on improving infrastructure, training, and protocols to provide high-quality emergency care. Despite challenges such as inadequate funding and workforce shortages, emergency medicine in India has made significant strides in recent years. The future direction of emergency medicine in India includes the development of a standardized emergency care system, increasing public awareness of emergency services, and enhancing collaboration between emergency medicine and other specialties
