In China the practice of emergency medicine includes patient management in the prehospital, emergency department and intensive care settings. In recent years, emergency medicine has emerged as an independent medical specialty in its own right, and has built up its own professional pool of clinicians, academicians and researchers. There is, however, still much room for improvement compared with developed countries, especially in the areas of clinical and prehospital care, teaching and scientific research. In this paper the current state of emergency medicine education in China is presented and further avenues for improvement are explored.
