JTF: telemetry in the ED, complex regional pain, transient global amnesia

POCUS Literature Primer: key papers on first-trimester pregnancy and scrotal POCUS

Original Research: Teaching resuscitation of critically ill patients to medical learners, Are patients seen by a supervised learner more likely to return to the ED, Medico-legal risk in the emergency department

And many more!

[Dr. Brian Goldman @NightShiftMD]

Dr Mike Weldon went from engineering to emergency medicine because he listened to @cbcwhitecoat. Now, he’s bringing AI to the ED to up our game.

Too funny! The last slide of the Canadian national emergency medicine conference. I’m cracking up but yes, good advice

[Trevor Jain @TrevorJain]

The GOAT, Dr Brian Goldman giving the closing plenary at CAEP2026. An amazing advocate, author, radio host, and outstanding Canadian. @NightShiftMD @mdmama_ @PfParks @CAEPConference

Very cool that there is a national award with my name on it but even cooler that there is a new generation of Canadian emergency physicians who are willing to put themselves out there in the name of patient safety or system improvement. This year's winner: Dr. Kaitlin Stockton.

[Trevor Jain @TrevorJain]

Congratulations to the amazing Dr Kaitlin Stockton for winning the Dr Allan Drummond advocacy award. A warrior for patients who didn’t back down from a health authority when patient safety was at risk. She will continue to do great things for Canadians. @alandrummond2 @raghu_venugopal @mdmama_ @NightShiftMD @CAEP_Docs

[Michael Herman @EmJayHermano]

Another great @CAEP_Docs conference. Lots of learning and fun with docs from all across the country.

Also, I’m happy to announce I’ve been appointed to the board of directors for CAEP. Excited to keep advocating for Canada’s hardworking ER doctors!

🔥 Wellness in emergency medicine isn’t about eliminating the dumpster fire. It’s about finding joy while standing next to it.

At #CAEP26, Dr. Matthew Lipinski explores how emergency physicians can sustain meaning, motivation, and wellness despite burnout, crowding, moral injury, and administrative burden.

Key themes:
✅ Mastery
✅ Autonomy
✅ Purpose
✅ Personal agency
✅ Gratitude
✅ Connection

A timely reminder that wellness isn’t found in perfect conditions. It’s built through small daily actions that help us continue doing difficult and important work.

🚑 Can EMS safely divert unhoused individuals away from overcrowded EDs?

At #CAEP26, Dr. Madison Van Dusen and colleagues evaluated Ottawa’s Targeted Engagement and Diversion (TED) program, a shelter-based model providing 24/7 care for unhoused adults.

Key findings:
✅ Only 23% visited an ED within 7 days
✅ Just 2.4% required hospital admission
✅ Psychiatric comorbidity was the strongest predictor of subsequent ED visits
These findings support TED as a safe and effective strategy to reduce pressure on both emergency departments and prehospital services while improving care for vulnerable populations.

[EM Ottawa @emergmedottawa]

Most good ideas fail.

Not because they’re bad ideas, but because people never truly adopt them.

At #CAEP26, Haroun Zayed shares practical leadership lessons from implementing physician-at-triage, ambulance offload initiatives, QA redesign, and ambient AI scribing at The Ottawa Hospital.

Key takeaways:
✅ Start with a real problem
✅ Understand the data
✅ Create wins for executives, patients, and frontline staff
✅ Invest in people, not the idea
✅ Be honest when things don’t work
The idea is the easy part. Making it stick is leadership.

@alandrummond2 On deadline with Vancouver emergency physician Dr. Andrew Kestler at @CAEP_Docs conference in Winnipeg.

[Michael Herman @EmJayHermano]

First talks today at @CAEP_Docs about imposter syndrome, leadership qualities, navigating physician complaints and digital media safety (although clearly one attendee didn’t need the advice 😛)

[Trevor Jain @TrevorJain]

Dr Carolyn Snider on leadership. “Does it look like leadership or is it leadership”. Two different things. Fantastic talk!@DrCarolynSnider @CAEP_Docs @CAEPConference

[Trevor Jain @TrevorJain]

Getting ready to give my plenary talk to CAEP 2026. Nice to represent PEI with leaders across the nation! @UPEI @Health_PEI @CAEP_Docs @CAEPConference

[Trevor Jain @TrevorJain]

Even medicine gets it. “When there is a compliant you must know what the complaint is and who made the complaint” and then a fair treatment process. Unfortunately academic institutions such as universities continues to fail and practice the basics. @UPEI @CAEP_Docs @CAEPConference #FacultyofMedicine UPEI

[#CAEP26 Winnipeg @CAEPConference]

This years CAEP conference kicked off with a plenary talk from Drs Blair Bigham and Allan Drummond. Delegates learnt about advocacy strategies for the ED physician.
