Why emergency care?

Emergency medicine is an exciting speciality to be involved with - we are growing in size and influence, with an ongoing revolution of what emergency departments are responsible for. The benefits to students are mainly 'personal' and 'career'.

Emergency care as an area of medicine has grown dramatically in profile over recent years, the unpredictable and challenging nature of the work proving the real challenge which appeals to a certain type of person; one who likes to know that every day will be a challenge, that every day will be different and they will always need to be thinking on their feet, dealing with pressure and testing themselves to the limit.
