Abstract
There is no Canadian literature on training family physicians in emergency medicine. The author reviews the content of the current programs at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. He questions whether the curriculum of family-medicine programs adequately fulfills the trainee's or the community's needs. Increased competence, as well as greatly increased confidence, should result from a four-month emergency medicine rotation. The teaching should be done by full-time specialists in emergency medicine.
