چکیده
Enhanced competency training is becoming an increasingly prominent aspect of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) emergency medicine (EM) program. Defined loosely as additional training in an area relevant to the practice of EM, the enhanced competency training pursued by Canadian EM residents can include accredited subspecialty fellowships such as intensive care or pediatric EM; unaccredited fellowships in areas such as simulation or emergency medical services; and graduate degree programs in medical education, public health, epidemiology, or business administration. These programs are pursued by a large number of EM trainees in the RCPSC program, often during their fourth postgraduate year of training. Despite their prominence, little has been published on applying to enhanced training programs in the Canadian context. The lack of literature, the authors’ experiences applying for additional training, and the importance of this topic for EM residents were the impetus for this article. Herein, we outline the current status of enhanced training and provide advice to interested EM residents.
