In forceThe emergency care teaching centre is set up in a healthcare establishment, within the hospital unit that includes the emergency medical assistance service.
The emergency care teaching centre is placed under the responsibility of a doctor, who devotes part of his or her time to running the centre, who is a university lecturer and hospital practitioner, senior university lecturer and hospital practitioner or hospital practitioner. In the latter case, the practitioner must hold a university teaching diploma.
This doctor may be either the doctor in charge of the emergency medical service, or a hospital practitioner specialising in emergency medicine, appointed under the conditions set out in article R. 6146-4 and working within the emergency medical service.

An emergency care teaching centre must have the resources it needs to carry out its tasks. These resources include permanent teaching staff, occasional lecturers and administrative and logistical staff. They also include logistical resources and premises enabling theoretical and practical teaching sequences to be carried out, in particular simulations of a normal or exceptional health situation.
