Abstract

Models of trauma care are actively evolving across Australasia in response to changing trauma epidemiology. Emergency physicians interested in longitudinal trauma care are well-established as inpatient trauma specialists and directors of trauma services in Australia, and these roles may become available in New Zealand. This Trainee Focus editorial compares trauma service medical staffing models, noting the expansion of a multi-specialty approach. The strengths and limitations of FACEM training as preparation for inpatient trauma specialist work are discussed. Interested trainees should seek broad clinical exposure, engage with trauma quality improvement or research activities, and network across specialty boundaries.
