Abstract
A collaborative partnership between the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Chaoyang Red Cross
Hospital and Chinese Ministry of Health has been established to initiate Emergency
Medicine (EM) administrative training in Beijing, China. The Emergency Medical Education
and Training Center (EMETC) at Chaoyang Red Cross Hospital was opened as a training
facility to foster EM administrative curriculum development and training nationwide.
A six-step approach with problem identification, needs assessment, goals and objectives,
educational strategies, implementation and evaluation was used to form a locally adapted
curriculum. With a train-the-trainers model, the EMETC sponsored several EM administration
courses, the first of their kind in China. Since its inception, the EMETC has trained
95 persons from throughout China in EM administration. An EM administration curriculum
has been developed and refined. In conclusion, an international partnership between
academic hospitals, supported by the local Ministry of Health, to develop a national
training facility using this six-step approach may be an attractive strategy for dissemination
of EM administration principles.
