title: [The training of an emergency physician].
abstract: The population is well aware today that the emergency doctor holds a strong position in the field of preclinical care. The time of onset of expert care of the emergency patient is of great significance in regard to survival and prevention of further damage. Whereas equipping of ambulance vehicles and training of orderlies are controlled by rigid regulations, there are no particular requirements concerning the training of ambulance doctors. Definite minimal training should be required of the ambulance doctor because of mistakes made and care services often being insufficient. In respect to content and form of training a proposal has been made representing a minimal requirement. It should be assured in modern day ambulance care that only qualified physicians participate who are familiar with the special situations encountered in emergency medicine.
