Introduction: Emergency medicine resident physicians are required to complete observational ride-alongs with emergency medical services (EMS) units as part of their curriculum as per the ACGME. We created this curriculum to expose emergency medicine residents to the equipment they will encounter in the prehospital setting, discuss basic EMS operations and the challenges of working in the prehospital environment, and review the limitations that restrict care provided by EMS professionals.
Methods: We created a series of five simulation cases for resident physicians participating in an EMS ride-along rotation.
