3 Day CASTED Emergency Course
FULL
CASTED: Emergency – The Hands-on ED Orthopedics Course CASTED is a comprehensive, ED orthopedics course. 2 days online to change your approach to ED ortho: crisper assessments, deeper differentials, better x-ray interpretation; clearer indications for reduction; improved disposition skills. Then, a 3rd hands-on day for a sharper physical exam review, multiple reduction techniques and immobilization demos with tons of hands-on practice.
Your approach to ED orthopedics will be better. Better assessments, better ordering and interpreting imaging, better reductions and immobilization, and better disposition skills.
2 days of case reviews delivered online. Some time is given to incorporate these skills into practice. Then, on May 6, the hands-on day, to see demos, physical exam reviews and practice. Plus you are reminded of the online course principles and you refine your skills. This ‘spaced repetition’ helps with maintaining practice-changing pearls.

The Hemodynamic Instability Course
HIC is the Hemodynamic Instability Course – focused on advanced vascular access and the management of critically ill, hypotensive patients. It is an enjoyable, high-yield, practice-changing course delivered by award-winning, amazingly collegial EM educators with experience in community and rural ED’s. This course is relevant to anyone who works from rural to urban and manages patients in shock (EM, hospitalist, anesthesia, etc).
In-Person: May 7, 2024 in Toronto
HIC combines ~3 hours of pre-course lectures (asynchronous) with a full day of in-person teaching. Brief focused pre-course lectures will review “The 1st 20 Minutes”, Priorities in Peds, Trauma and Sepsis, Pressor Pearls, Practical Central Line Anatomy, Crisis Resource Management, and much more!
The in-person day combines small group, hands-on sessions using simulation mannequins. Added are case reviews centred around the pre-course lectures – a true ‘flipped classroom’. You learn the principles pre-course – now you get to put them to use.
By the end of the course, you will have mastered not only the skill of central line insertion but also reviewed the ‘where, when, why and how’ of caring for critically ill patients. Your confidence in managing these incredibly sick patients will be significantly greater by the end of the day. Take these skills to the bedside and you will save lives!

EDE 1
Prairie POCUS is Canada’s largest ultrasound training center and we aim to improve patient care by enhancing the clinical ultrasound skills of participants. We offer a large range of courses spanning beginners to advanced ultrasound ninjas.
Program Objectives
EDE Core is an intense 1-day hands-on workshop designed for participants to complete the practical training component of their introductory course in point-of-care ultrasound.
An online mandatory precourse must be completed before the course day so we can focus on maximum time at the bedside with hands-on probe training. We have maximized the instructor and machine ratios to ensure you keep scanning. It is suggested to schedule a minimum of 10 hours to complete the precourse.
In this course, we will cover point-of-care detection of;
- Detection of global cardiac activity
- Pericardial effusions
- Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
- Intra-abdominal hemorrhage
- Pneumothorax
- Pleural effusions
- Intrauterine pregnancies
The EDE 2 Course, Point-of-Care Ultrasound for the Advanced User
The EDE 2 Course, Point-of-Care Ultrasound for the Advanced User
EDE 2 is an advanced emergency ultrasound course. Although it brings you new indications, EDE 2 retains the principles of the original EDE course including content that sticks to the essentials, an emphasis on learning image generation, and the straightforward and safe incorporation of POCUS into clinical practice. EDE 2 is a 2-day course. Day 1 consists of completing online modules. The online modules are in cutting edge and interactive format. Participants can go through the online material at their own pace, at a time of their own choosing, and as often as they like. Under the new format, the live part of the course has dropped down to 1 day and consists mostly of scanning, with brief mini-lectures to remind participants how to do the scan.
You should only take EDE 2 if you have taken a basic course and use ultrasound on a regular basis. The EDE eBook and Smart Phone App access are included.
EMU attendees will receive a $100 rebate after the course.
