I am proofing a CV translation. The translator has put "acute medicine" but wouldn't "emergency medicine" be better?

Selected
acute care medicine
Akutmedizin = acute care medicine
e.g.:
Acute Care Medicine transcends specialties and is truly Multi-System in its practice. The technological explosion and the consequent super-specialization of Medical training have challenged multi-system Medicine in the health systems globally. Recent changes in hospitals have further minimized optimal training in effective practice of Acute Care Medicine. RACP acknowledges that training in acute care medicine is not as sound as it used to be.

This elective in adult acute care medicine increased student exposure to inpatient settings and provided students additional opportunities to communicate effectively, evaluate medical literature, and think critically.

Discussion
As far as I know, "Akutmedizin" does not necessarily imply urgency. Rather, it is the treatment of "acute" diseases, as opposed to chronical ones. I am therefore a bit skeptical regarding the use of "critical", "intensive"or "emergency medicine". (But if anyone here knows better I'll be happy to be convinced otherwise, of course.)
