Abstract/OtherAbstract:
MATERIAL AND METHOD: The study was performed on a number of 164 emergency medicine physicians, trained following a unique theoretical and practical curriculum, between April and December 2006 in 4 Romanian university centers.
RESULTS: The assessment of the theoretical knowledge acquired during the training program revealed a significant (p<0.0001) improvement. The comparative analysis of the theoretical evaluation results between the center in Cluj and the other three training centers did not show statistically significant differences. The differences were noticed at the level of the practical evaluation (p<0.005). The attendees observed the need for supplementing the practical activities in trauma emergency situations (57.38% -72.08%).
CONCLUSIONS: The implementation of a national training program, with a unitary curriculum, creates premises for a standardized training process. The first national training program in FAST, a unique competence in emergency ultrasonography, identified the necessity for curricular remodeling.
