Summary

Anaesthesiologists, for their knowledge, skills and expertise, have been playing a key role in the development of emergency medicine. In many countries, anaesthesiologists are today fully involved in teaching and practicing emergency medicine, and have leading roles in emergency departments. Proper education and effective interdisciplinary medical cooperation is essential for quality assurance in emergency medicine. This paper, produced by a working party of the European Board of Anaesthesiology of the European Union of Medical Specialists (EUMS/UEMS), gives directions for a core curriculum in emergency medicine integrated in the specialty of anaesthesiology.
