3.
Begin making steps toward the regionalization of trauma
care, the creation of a trauma registry, and the designation
and certification of trauma centers.
4.
A “board” of Emergency Medicine is necessary to strengthen
the emergency medicine in CONACEM (Comision nacional de
certificacion de especialidades medicas) to ensure the quality
and uniformity of training.
5.
A unified emergency medicine evaluation needs to be
developed, for Chilean EM graduates.
6.
Enhanced faculty development programs must be
promoted, both locally and in conjunction with international
partners.
7.
Establish the value of SOCHIMU membership and continue
to grow membership so that a cohesive society can represent
the groups interests. SOCHIMU, SOCHIMI, and SOCHIPRED
should coordinate a single academic meeting and recognize
their mutual interests.
8.
Recruit additional faculty to the existing training programs
from the new graduate pool and possibly from international
TABLE 1. ACADEMICS ACTIVITIES IN EM IN CHILE
groups to augment the educational community.
9.
Encourage ongoing international exchanges and fellow-
ship training. These experiences give the Chilean emergency
physicians perspective and membership in a larger community
globally.
10.
Create a Spanish language journal that will allow publica-
tion of regionally relevant material and help develop academic
interests and faculty development.
11.
Begin to make a greater contribution to “public health”
and governmental health programs as articulated by the
Minister of Health. A national Chilean position (below the
MOH) pertaining to EM and Disaster Response makes good
sense given the geological tectonics and volcanism of Chile
and its history of recurrent major disasters. Development of
regionalized trauma system for Chile is an obvious example of
a reachable impactful public health goal.
12.
Development of subspecialty training in areas of impor-
tance to Chilean healthcare needs to be created. Toxicology,
Emergency Ultrasound, Prehospital Care, and Pediatric EM, are
all areas worthy of development, and some have already begun.
