A humble suggestion for next year to make @CAEPConference more child-friendly: offer on-site childcare like @SRPCanada's annual Rural and Remote conference. ๐๐ผ from last year's childcare space at #SRPC2023 in Niagara Falls
That's a wrap on baby's first conference @CAEPConference. Big thanks to @CAEP_Docs for the baby swag bag, breastfeeding space, and Grandma for making it possible #CAEP24 ๐๐ผ
Very grateful for you @DrMakokis and the Elders for sharing your teachings with us yesterday during @CAEPConference's 1st ever Indigenous land-based learning session and sweat lodge. I will forever carry the experience with me. Thank you ๐๐ผ
So excited to meet @jvipondmd โค๏ธ this pic - the 1st land based learning session @CAEP_Docs & I would say the first time MDs got CME credit (@Royal_College@CFPC_e) for participating in one aspect of our health system. Huge thanks to @JK_Khangura for doing a lot of the lifting.
Was thrilled and honoured to participate in a sweat lodge ceremony at #caep2024 doing land-based learning with the incredible @DrMakokis.
Mind opened. Hoping to be a better ally with Indigenous Peoples in medicine, and beyond.
Thanks to @UAlberta_FoMD for hosting.

EDs have to make the difficult decision to DC our patients to the street every day. And it's become harder because cities across Canada have run out of shelter spaces. Come find what to do when there is no shelter bed available #CAEP24 @ 1400 Regal Room https://t.co/Vg081My9C6
Come find your village at #CAEP24. A Social Emergency Medicine meet and greet/social - TCU -West Room (28) 1045-1215 today. Come meet people working to improve homelessness care, substance use care, Indigenous care, and anti-oppressive efforts in our EDs.
Starting shortly in Gallery B, come join us to learn about our Indigenous Patient Navigator program. @DrMakokis's plenary this morning highlighted why this program is necessary @CAEP_Docs@CAEPConference

๐จ Our new preprint: ED visits to avoid cold weather exposure by #unhoused ppl are way up in '22/'23. The change is most stark in Toronto (+68%), where pandemic hotels closed and calls unmatched to shelter exploded in '22/'23: https://t.co/eSr4a7a7Gc #ONpoli#TOpoli#homelessness
