Doctors in Training
Doctors in training provide a large portion of the medical care in emergency departments.
In the United States, they are called residents and most are supervised by ABEM or AOBEM board certified attending physicians.
In the United Kingdom, many doctors rotate through the emergency department, such as during their second foundation year (F2), or as part of a rotational specialty training programme in General Practice or Acute Care Common Stem training (Emergency Medicine, Acute medicine, Anaesthetics, and Intensive Care).
There are also many other professional positions filled in the ED for those wishing to become doctors; one could become a Scribe (ER), a volunteer, or one could shadow a doctor. All of these positions provide experience and perspective to the future medical student.

send the damned doctors home.
