- Assess any acutely ill patient

- Diagnose the most likely underlying problem
- Initiate appropriate investigations
- Liaise with the in-patient teams to ensure appropriate definitive care
Acute Care Common Stem program delivers the structured training and experience needed for this by enabling the trainee to work and learn in the four areas most closely concerned with the acutely ill patient. The EM trainee will become familiar with the common acute and life-threatening presentations, their rapid initial assessment and treatment, and how to determine what definitive care will be needed and where it will be provided.
The major presentations include presentations of immediately life threatening problems and other severe and urgent conditions, as well as other less serious problems.

APPRAISAL:
A formal process of appraisals and reviews underpins training. This process ensures adequate supervision during training provides continuity between posts and different supervisors and is one of the main ways of providing feedback to trainees.
The trainee and the Educational Supervisor must have a meeting at the beginning of each rotation/post and at the start of each subsequent year. They should review the trainee’s progress so far, agree learning objectives for the next training period and identify the learning opportunities.
Reviewing progress through the curriculum will help trainees develop an effective Personal Development Plan (PDP) of objectives for the coming period. Both the trainee and supervisor should sign the educational agreement in writing at this time recording their commitment to the training post.
At the end of each rotation/post and each subsequent year, the PDP and curriculum progress should be reviewed with the trainee’s Educational Supervisor. Further evidence of competence in certain areas may be needed such as workplace based assessments and this should be recorded. If there are significant concerns, then the program director should be informed.

Residents are evaluated by faculty every month, based on their rotation. Feedback is provided by the Programme Director and Coordinator, every 3 months.
