Abstract

Emergency departments in underserved areas face chronic staffing challenges. One possible solution is to use physicians who are quicker to train and more pervasive in lieu of more extensively trained physicians. Canada allows for emergency medicine specialization via a 3-year pathway (CCFP(EM)) and a 5-year pathway (FRCPC) which means different geographic areas are exposed to EM physicians with different training lengths.
