A message from the Research Director

Since its inception, our Department has demonstrated an exceptional commitment to building research capacity and advancing knowledge in emergency medicine. Our investigators have a broad range of research interests that reflect the diverse nature of clinical practice in emergency departments and in pre-hospital care. Our particular strengths are in the areas of EMS and trauma systems, resuscitation, advanced airway management, patient safety and clinical decision-making, medical education and knowledge transfer as well as public health and injury prevention. There is close collaboration with our EMS colleagues in the province and other EM researchers in Canada and the US.

Our highly skilled Research Support team facilitates, supports and promotes the research activities in our Department. They contribute their expertise in clinical trial coordination, database management, research administration, grant applications and Research Ethics Board submissions.

It is a privilege to work in such a dynamic and supportive research environment where the spirit of inquiry and the pursuit of excellence are highly valued. Please contact me if you would like to learn more about research in the Department of Emergency Medicine.
