CEMO is a CPD Outreach program for rural physicians and Emergency Department teams. We've been operating continuously since 2008. The program is fully accredited. We  have developed needs-based education for rural teams in the area surrounding Ottawa as well as Iqaluit. CEMO can offer valuable CPD programs to your members across Canada. 

Visit the CEMO website:  CEMOttawa.ca

We offer CEMO Virtual, as well as Onsite (case-based group learning), Simulation, and POCUS program formats to suit all needs. Dates are ongoing.

CEMO’s Overall Program Goal is to update knowledge and skills in Emergency Medicine. We offer tailored, practical, and team-based continuing professional development. We want to empower you to manage cases in your community emergency department with confidence and to safely transfer patients when needed.

CEMO Brings evidence-based and best-practice education. Most importantly, our needs assessment process means that we tailor sessions to your needs. Not a one-size-fits-all program!

Learn together with your ED team. CEMO brings your team of doctors, nurses and pharmacists together to learn and problem-solve. You’ll gain practical solutions to clinical care challenges to apply in your department.

CEMO Speakers are University of Ottawa emergency physicians with academic expertise and a community-friendly outlook.

The Society of Rural Physicians of Canada (SRPC) Residency Committee invites you to an online virtual Family Medicine residency tour on Sunday, January 12th, from 12 to 2 pm EST. Meet residents training rurally from coast to coast to coast and ask all the questions you need to help pick your residency site.

This event is designed to help graduating medical students make their ranking lists, but it is great information for trainees at any stage who would like to join.

We are also compiling a list of residents at these rural sites that have agreed to have their emails shared with prospective students if they have any questions which will be distributed to attendees.

Description:

answers and instead of the reassurance we sought, we have a cascade of follow-up labs we also regret ordering.  We'll briefly explore why we keep ordering tests only to regret it again and again before tackling the 3 tests the presenters regret the most: D-Dimer, ANA and SPEP. By helping you better understanding the value and limits of these tests as well as the right time and place for them, we will help reduce PLRS - Post Lab Remorse Syndrome.

Objectives:

• Describe the factors that result in us ordering tests of low value with high frequency.
• Review the use (and misuse) of three commonly ordered assays: Serum protein electrophoresis (aka. The Rabbit Hole),  Antinuclear antibody (aka. The Rheumatologist’s Recurring Nightmare) and D-dimer (aka. The Blood Pressure Modifier).
• Want a tattoo that reads “treat the patient, not the numbers".
