Overview

The program celebrated the start of its 40th year in July 2025. It continues to flourish as one of Canada鈥檚 largest CCFP-EM programs, with 12 residents. The Certificate of Added Competency (CAC) exam success rate is over 97%.

Our goal is to provide the family doctor with added competency in the management of acutely ill and injured patients. As a result, these physicians will serve as a resource to their community 鈥� from the rural family doctor who is called upon when a patient is crashing to the Emergency physician in a busy academic department. The training year is necessarily intense, as all fundamental Emergency Medicine topics are covered. In particular, the resident is expected to become competent and confident in the resuscitation of unstable patients.

Program Highlights

• Duration: 1 year (13 Periods)
• Curriculum:

1. Clinical rotations including Adult and Pediatrics ER, ICU, and others are designed to achieve the goals mentioned above

2. Didactic learning every Wednesday morning (Academic Half-Days),

3. Monthly SIM sessions

4. Point of Care Ultrasound curriculum including IP certification and advanced training

5. Wellness Curriculum including Transition to Practice sessions

6. Many other high-yield experiences

• Clinical Rotations: Residents rotate through community hospitals and tertiary care centres within the 澳客竞彩 network. This exposure provides the breadth and depth required to practice Emergency Medicine anywhere in Canada. Many residents choose to do their elective in rural or remote areas, or to pursue an area of interest (trauma, toxicology, others).
• Simulation Training: The program鈥檚 SIM training allows replication of challenging clinical scenarios and provides rich opportunities to teach with action and reflection. Our simulation-based education curriculum is an excellent adjunct to real patient encounters, where clinical and communication skills can be enhanced through experiential learning.The simulation program uses resources available at the 澳客竞彩 Steinberg Centre for Simulation and Interactive Learning (4-6 sessions) and the (6-8 sessions).
• Mentorship: Each resident has a Mentor assigned to them for the year. The Mentor鈥檚 role is to provide support and discuss career goals/planning. Residents also have an Academic Advisor who meets quarterly with them to review evaluations and produce a Learning Plan.

Curriculum and Training

Oral, Written, and Interactive Sessions:

Oral, Written and Interactive Sessions are held monthly and are a compulsory part of the curriculum. The purpose of these sessions is three-fold:

1. To encourage the resident to review and study a large body of information systematically.
2. To prepare the resident for the written and oral components of the Certificate of Added Competence (CAC) exam.
3. To monitor the resident鈥檚 progress throughout the year.

These sessions take place on Wednesday mornings, corresponding to weeks 2 and 3 of the period. They generally run from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm.

Core Rounds and Teaching Sessions:

On weeks 1 and 4, residents attend Academic Half-Day (AHD) with the FRCP-EM residents. Topics include new advances in Emergency Medicine, review of controversial topics, procedure practice (e.g., Airway Day), POCUS, and wellness, amongst others. FRCP residents also prepare Journal Club as part of AHDs. CCFP-EM residents will present their CAT projects during these rounds. AHD rounds are held on Zoom, with some sessions now being held live at our teaching sites. Attendance is mandatory.

These AHDs are a wonderful opportunity to hear from internationally recognized figures in Emergency Medicine, review important topics, and socialize with our FRCP colleagues. Furthermore, socially relevant topics such as EDI in Emergency Medicine, Indigenous Health Issues, Physician Stress and Burnout are now being covered more deliberately.

Evaluations:

Resident evaluations occur mostly via One45. For the ER-based rotations, it is the responsibility of the resident to 鈥減ush鈥� to each staff the daily evaluation forms (ITERs). Residents must also push One45 forms to staff after an oral exam. ICU evaluations are sent to the staff supervisor after 1 or 2 weeks of supervision.

Quarterly Evaluations with Faculty Advisors are also done on One45. Residents should meet in person with their Advisor to discuss their progress. Residents are expected 鈥� in the meetings and on the One45 form 鈥� to provide feedback about their experiences. They are also expected to create, with guidance from the Advisor, a Learning Plan for the next quarter.

Evaluations not submitted to One45 include the National Practice Exam (done in April) and SAMP/written exams, and the CAT project. Other curriculum components with no formal evaluation but where attendance and active participation is required include Academic Half-Days, SIM sessions, ACLS, and POCUS IP certification.
