Emergency Medicine (EM) residency programmes are new to Africa and exist in only a handful of countries. There has been no follow up on faculty development needs nor training of these graduates since they completed their programmes. The African Federation for Emergency Medicine (AFEM) aims to explore the needs of recent EM graduates with respect to the need for resources, mentorship, and teaching in order to develop a focused African faculty development intervention. ⋯ Recent graduates report that the best ways for AFEM to help new EM graduates is to continue advocacy programmes and the development of leadership and mentorship programmes. However, there is also a demand from these graduates for educational materials, especially online.
