The Trainee Focus section in this edition of Emergency Medicine Australasia explores training in global health (GH) and international emergency medicine (IEM). In the article by Thurtle et al., several emergency medicine (EM) registrars describe the benefits and challenges of working in resource-limited settings, and Phillips provides insights based on her experience as a mentor and remote supervisor. This introductory piece outlines recent developments in GH training, and reflects on the IEM learning opportunities currently available to Australasian EM trainees.
