Abstract

Introduction: Wilderness medicine (WM) is the study of medicine in austere environments. There are several US multidisciplinary courses that teach WM to people from varying medical backgrounds. However, WM topics are covered to different extents. This study's purpose was to compare WM components among US multidisciplinary training courses.

Methods: The American College of Emergency Physicians WM fellowship curriculum's 19 components and the Fellowship of the Academy of Wilderness Medicine's 12 core and 16 elective competencies and their credits were used as two control lists. Curricula from 10 US multidisciplinary courses were analyzed for WM components. Using descriptive analysis, each course curriculum was compared with the controls.

Results: This study examines WM components in 10 courses. The greatest number of American College of Emergency Physicians WM fellowship topics (14 of 19) was covered by the Paramedic course and the fewest number (4 of 19) by the Tactical Combat Casualty Care-Combat Lifesaver course. The greatest number of Fellowship of the Academy of Wilderness Medicine core credits (56) was offered by the Paramedic course and the fewest number (24) by the Tactical Combat Casualty Care-Medical Personnel course. The greatest number of Fellowship of the Academy of Wilderness Medicine elective credits (83) was offered by the Paramedic course and the fewest number (25) by the Tactical Combat Casualty Care-Combat Lifesaver course.

Conclusion: This research analyzed WM components in US multidisciplinary courses and demonstrated that each covers WM topics to varying extents. This shows an opportunity for these courses to expand their WM education within their scope. It also demonstrates competencies offered by different courses for interested trainees.

美国多学科培训课程中的野外医学课程。
导言:荒野医学(WM)是一门在艰苦环境中研究医学的学科。美国有几门多学科课程向不同医学背景的人教授荒野医学。然而,WM 主题的覆盖范围各不相同。本研究旨在比较美国多学科培训课程中的 WM 内容:方法:将美国急诊医师学院 WM 奖学金课程的 19 个组成部分和荒野医学学会奖学金的 12 个核心能力和 16 个选修能力及其学分作为两个对照清单。对美国 10 门多学科课程的 WM 内容进行了分析。通过描述性分析,将每门课程的课程表与对照表进行了比较:本研究考察了 10 门课程中的 WM 内容。美国急诊医师学会 WM 研究金课程中,辅助医务人员课程涵盖的 WM 课题最多(19 个中的 14 个),而战术战斗伤员护理-战斗救生员课程涵盖的 WM 课题最少(19 个中的 4 个)。辅助医务人员课程提供了最多的野外医学学院研究金核心学分(56 个),战术战斗伤员救护-医务人员课程提供的学分最少(24 个)。野外医学学院研究员选修课学分最多的是辅助医务人员课程(83 个),最少的是战术战斗伤员救护课程(25 个):这项研究分析了美国多学科课程中的野外医疗内容,并表明每门课程都在不同程度上涵盖了野外医疗主题。这表明这些课程有机会在其范围内扩展 WM 教育。它还展示了不同课程为感兴趣的学员提供的能力。
