Undergraduate Medical Education

Resident Research

Residents are supported in their scholarly endeavours in a number of ways. FRCPC residents are encouraged to choose one larger project early in their residency that can be developed and completed over 3 to 5 years. Those residents with a greater interest are encouraged to also conduct several smaller projects throughout their five year residency. CCFP-EM residents have more limited time to spend on research and are encouraged to complete a smaller scale project (i.e. chart review or survey) that can becompleted in their short one year with us. Research projects may be in any field related to emergency medicine including, but not limited to: medical education, pre-hospital medicine, medical administration, trauma and resuscitation, POCUS or clinical decision making.
There are a few opportunities for financial support internal to Western EM as well as a resident writing award for the top submitted abstract each year.

Faculty Research

There are many ways faculty can support and be involved in research at WesternEM. In addition to the core group of faculty who will pursue an ARC of clinician researcher, there are a partial funding positions for project based researchers. Faculty who do not have protected research time but wish to support individual projects as site PI or as resident/student supervisors can also be rewarded through a points-based system. The research office provides some support and guidance. There are local research grants and an internal research grant as well as funding for knowledge translation eg conference support.

Graduate Research

 

We are happy to provide support for graduate students interested in health care eg health care administration, industrial engineering,

Year 4

Integration & Transition

A nine day course focused on both the care of the critically ill and the mentally patient. The format involves lectures, independent learning modules, small group sessions and high fidelity simulation.

Bedside Teaching

Students in year 3 & 4 will be paired with a staff emergency physician for all of their shifts during core clerkship, selective and elective rotations. Bedside teaching is provided throughout these clinical experiences.

Fourth year 2 week electives may also be arranged through a lottery system.
