Summary Some areas of EMS instruction are more consistently offered in residency programs than in the past. Formal (structured) preparation for the provision of OLMC has become almost universal, while involvement in quality‐related activities and training in the areas of risk management and EMS administration appear to have increased. However, resident involvement in disaster activities has decreased in recent years, and there is still much variability between programs in the extent and scope of EMS teaching. Field experiences still vary widely, for both ground and air services.
