SEMES Emergency Medicine ---- Summary: Emergency and Urgent Care Nursing This discussion brings together experts from Argentina, Switzerland, Spain, Peru, and Mexico to debate the need to create a specific specialty in emergency and urgent care nursing. International Situation While Switzerland, Peru, and Mexico already have recognized specialties, Argentina is developing one, and Spain still lacks it at the official level. Why It's Necessary A differentiated specialty is crucial because it requires *very specific skills*: rapid decision-making, adaptation to hostile environments, management of patients with diagnostic uncertainty, and working under extreme pressure. It allows for the standardization of processes, a reduction in adverse events, and improved professional retention. Conclusion It guarantees *high-quality and safe care*, fosters professional research, and recognizes that addressing critical situations requires standardized training distinct from other specialties.
