Integrating emergency medicine residents into a well-established helicopter program.
The institution of an emergency medicine residency in a university-affiliated Level 1 trauma center in July 1993 provided a challenge to develop a curriculum and on-line learning experience for emergency medicine residents in a well-established helicopter program. The purpose of this study was to survey flight crew members, emergency medicine at tending physicians, and emergency medicine residents on the anticipated roles and educational experience of integrating the emergency medicine residents from a new emergency medicine residency into the flight crew of a well-established helicopter program. ⋯ The results of this study allowed for the creation and implementation of a progressive flight experience for EM residents that incorporates increasing responsibility on the flight crew as experience is gained.
