Optimizing the Use of a Precious Resource: The Role of Emergency Physicians in a Humanitarian Crisis

&

Abstract

Emergency physicians are uniquely suited to provide care in crises as a result of their broadtraining, ability to work quickly and effectively in high-pressure, austere settings, and their inherentflexibility. While emergency medicine training is helpful to support the needs of crisis-affected anddisplaced populations, it is not in itself sufficient. In this article we review what an EP should carefullyconsider prior to deployment.
