Abstract

PURPOSE
This study was performed to analyze the results from a 2016 three-day emergency medicine camp for premedical students.
METHODS
The Public Relations Committee of Korea Emergency Medical Association planned the camp. We sent an official letter to 41 universities to recruit participants and create programs for three days. Questionnaires were prepared and analyzed before and after the camp.
RESULTS
A total of 37 participants participated. There were three times more males than females. According to the recognition survey, knowledge (3.4±2.0 vs. 7.2±1.8) and preference (5.4±1.8 vs. 7.4±1.4) after the camp were better than before the camp (p<0.05). In detail, anxiety about funerals (3.5±2.5 vs. 2.4±2.8) and perception of the role (5.8±2.2 vs. 4.5±2.6) were improved (p<0.05). Worries regarding physical and psychological burden and danger were also greatly improved (p<0.05). The mean satisfaction was 8.6 points out of 10 points, according to the general survey.
CONCLUSION
The three-day camp increased awareness of emergency medicine and improved their preferences.
