Abstract

A rapidly increasing number of foreign qualified emergency physicians of Pakistani descent are conducting workshops and seminars in Pakistan to contribute to this emerging field of emergency medicine (EM) for sole purpose of capacity building. This phenomenon has witnessed an additional surge in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. For capacity building, the local EM trainees are contributing by delivering personally constructed courses and workshops to various institutions. Their efforts are commendable however this letter provides some insight into the way EM has undergone development especially in context to Pakistani origin and the struggle of locally trained emergency medicine physicians. We hope to provide certain observations to our readers to look for parallels in their own situations they can make use of. It is important to recognize the restraints of local resources however the supply of trained emergency physicians will increase the demand for them. Each country must develop its own way of providing care to their acutely ill and injured, and thereby have ownership of it.
