摘要：

Background: Trauma in Papua New Guinea (PNG) is a major reason for acute hospital admission. The Early Management of Severe Trauma Course (EMST) of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons was introduced to PNG in 1993 to help in trauma education. Methods: Four EMST courses have been held in Port Moresby since 1993 with the support of the Department of Surgery of the University of PNG. Results: Sixty-two doctors have attended a course and three PNG doctors have been trained as course instructors. Trauma workshops were held in other provincial hospitals extending the course principles to nurses and health professionals in these areas. Conclusion: The introduction of EMST to PNG has proven to be a worthwhile endeavour and the program is now firmly established in PNG.
