Demand for global health training and experiences among emergency medicine trainees in Australia and New Zealand.
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. ⋯ 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.
