dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study is to assess whether ECG interpretation improves with advancing years of Emergency Medicine training in South Africa, and to compare the results with similar international studies. A prospective cross-sectional study of Emergency Medicine registrars and recently qualified emergency physicians was conducted between August 2008 and February 2009 during training sessions at various universities through South Africa. Subjects completed a survey about level of training and experience, previous ECG training and their impression of the current training program and how it could be improved. They were then asked to interpret 10 clinically important ECGs. The trainees in their first and second years of emergency medicine training were compared to their more senior counterparts (third to fifth years).en_ZA
