Includes bibliographical references. To determine whether the current South African Emergency Medicine Curriculum is appropriate for the burden of disease seen by registrars in Cape Town Emergency Centres, a cross- sectional retrospective audit of 1283 clinical presentations from three secondary level ECs in Cape Town was done. The type of clinical presentations, investigations done and procedures per- formed were analysed. Basic descriptives are presented. The curriculum did not cover all the clinical conditions, procedures and investigations encountered by EM registrars in Cape Town. There were also multiple categories in the curriculum that were not encountered in EM practice at all. The investigations section correlated particularly poorly with the skills needed for the burden of disease seen in ECs in Cape Town. The curriculum should be redrafted guided by a practice analysis of EM. 2014-12-27T19:41:48Z 2014-12-27T19:41:48Z 2010 Master Thesis Masters MMed http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10276 eng application/pdf Division of Emergency Medicine Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
