The PG Program Development Session of  ASHWAMEGH Focused on 

Clinical Assessment Skills Training in PG Training in EM

EM is a dynamic field. 

Standardized clinical skills training is the core foundation of PG Education.

Fortifying Clinical Skills of Medicine, Surgery, Orthopedics, Pediatrics, Neonatology, Dermatology, OBGYN, Ophthalmology, ENT and Psychiatry is Very important.

Knowing all Clinical Examinations Up-To-Date is Fundamentally Mandatory and there is no easy way out.

Understanding that ABC is not a clinical exam but a Triage Assessment which is only done in critical patients is key.

 Open ended questions were answered.

Discussion was also held on various aspects of the scenarios.

Some Facts about Emergency Medicine 

Emergency Medicine is NOT CRITICAL CARE MEDICINE

Emergency Medicine is not MEDICAL EMERGENCIES

There is no concept by NMC called ED-ICU. ICU Beds in ED are Holding beds for the ICU Team till ICU Beds become available if they are Full. ED ICU Beds are under control of ICU not ED Specialists.

The Operation Theater in ED is only for Life Saving Surgeries like Life Threatening Trauma Bleed, Thoracotomy, Traumatic Thorax & Abdomen Exploration in Unstable Patients only.

Acute Life Saving Vascular Injury Repair is for ED OT.

Elective Surgeries like Gall Bladder, Appendectomy, Ex- Lap, Fracture repair and many where patients are not actively dying don’t need the ED Operating Room.

Emergency Medicine Faculty Need to have a firm understanding of Operations Management.

A Stagnant ED is not an ED for Post Graduate Training nor is an ED which is No Process Management System or Processes Written, Regulated and accounted.
