Abstract
Background: Emergency departments and intensive care units are of great importance for patient care and require qualified and competent medical staff.
Objective: To present the range of tasks and career paths in emergency and intensive care medicine that make further training and long-term employment in these areas attractive.
Methods and results: Emergency and intensive care medicine are characterized by a wide range of clinical tasks, but also by stresses resulting from, for example, shift work. As an alternative to full-time employment, part-time work can also be combined with other tasks, such as training, continuing education, teaching, research, or management.
Conclusion: Emergency and intensive care medicine offers a variety of exciting and promising fields of activity, but also specific stresses that must be taken into account in work models.
