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.

Due to the high risk of drought and wildfires in the Northwest Territories this spring, the Canadian Society for Circumpolar Health (CSCH) and the International Union for Circumpolar Health (IUCH) have made the difficult decision postpone the ICCH18.

We made this choice now to ensure the wellbeing of participants, minimize logistical problems and costs, and out of respect and concern for the residents of Yellowknife and other communities in the region. The organizing committee is currently looking at options for a new date and possibly a new location. We will provide updates and details as they become available.

We recognize that this change is disruptive and we sorry for any inconvenience this may cause participants and supporting organizations. Many of you have registered for the congress, booked your travel, and submitted an abstract. For participants who have registered for the congress, a member of the organizing committee will contact you directly to offer the choice of a full refund of registration fees or to transfer your registration to the rescheduled congress.

Any abstracts that were submitted by March 15th will still undergo peer review and decisions will be sent out in April. The deadline for abstracts has been extended until April 14th, and we welcome additional submissions. All submitted abstracts will be considered for presentations at the rescheduled congress.

The ICCH18 organizing committee along with CSCH and IUCH are working hard on an alternative plan. We are committed to hosting the congress in Canada during the next year, but want to do so under safe conditions. Thank you for your patience. Please contact info@csch.ca if you have questions or need more information. Updates will be shared via email and the website as details become available.

Sincerely,

Kimberly Fairman, President, CSCH and IUCH

Nathaniel Pollock, Vice President, CSCH
