Abstract

INTRODUCTIONProcedural competence is expected of all practicing emergency physicians.1,2 In order to successfully complete residency training, emergency medicine (EM) residents must complete a minimum number of Key Index Procedures as determined by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), which have traditionally served as one factor for assessing procedural competency.1 Program leadership is tasked with ensuring that trainees have adequate opportunities to meet these thresholds. However, there are limited data on EM procedural numbers, which can make it challenging for regulatory bodies to determine current procedural requirements and justify these requirements to training programs.Prior research has sought to quantify the total number of procedures performed by EM residents but was limited by poor response rates, small sample sizes, and emphasis on a single point in time.3–5 As individual training programs and environments can vary, it is important to include a broader range to account for these potential differences. Moreover, the practice of emergency medicine has changed over time with advances in medical knowledge and technology, which may influence the type, frequency, and performance technique of procedures. The impact of COVID‐19 on procedural numbers and distribution is also important to ascertain.Regulatory bodies and medical education leaders must continually reflect
