Emergency medicine is a branch of medicine that deals with the management of life-threatening conditions or injuries that require urgent medical intervention. The scope of emergency medicine is the implementation of emergency care of patients in outpatient conditions that can take place at the scene of an accident, in the family home of the victim, in the emergency room of the Institute of Emergency Medicine or during transport in an emergency vehicle. In order to take care of all patients who need emergency medical care as successfully as possible, the competencies and knowledge that must be mastered by nurses and technicians are wide and consist of knowledge from resuscitation, internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics ... For work in emergency medicine, except management with advanced knowledge and skills, it is extremely important that they are employees of good psychophysical health and that they have a high level of tolerance to stress and shocking scenes. Since the model of formal education that would produce nursing staff with a specialization in emergency medicine has not yet taken root in the Republic of Croatia, and in order to fully meet the quality of emergency care provided in outpatient settings, nurses and technicians acquire the necessary knowledge and skills through informal education in the form of courses in the field of emergency medicine. The aim of this thesis is to present the forms of education through which nurses and technicians in emergency medicine are educated and acquire the necessary knowledge and competencies to provide the highest quality care. They will also try to compare the Croatian model of education in emergency medicine with some educational models in the world.
