Airway Interventions & Management in Emergencies (AIME)
For over 25 years AIME has been providing high value educational support for clinicians in Canada and other regions around the world who are responsible for airway management in emergencies. Management of both the anticipated and unanticipated difficult airway requires evidence-based decision making and skillful procedural execution customized the patient’s presentation and the provider’s clinical environment. This program uses case-based group discussion with hands-on workshops using commonly available/increasingly accessible airway devices with the goal of enhancing provider confidence and skills that ultimately improve patient outcomes.
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. Day 1 online in synchronous – choose your date (with access to the recording). Day 2 is asynchronous – at your pace. 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.
Day 1 – online and synchronous. Day 2 – online and asynchronous. Day 3 in-person. 3 days of teaching, spaced out over time. This ‘spaced repetition’ helps with maintaining practice-changing pearls.

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. CPOCUS Independent Practitioner status is preferred but not required. Sign up for the course on Tuesday, April 21. Registration is at www.ede2course.com. The EDE eBook and Smart Phone App access are included. EMU attendees will receive a $100 rebate after the course.

TRIK - Trauma Resuscitation in Kids
CAEP’s one-day TRIK course offers essential trauma management knowledge and practical skills in a streamlined format. Designed as a condensed version of the two-day program, it provides high-impact learning on core simulation scenarios. This makes the 1-day option an excellent refresher for experienced providers, rather than a first-time introduction. To get the most out of the experience, prior trauma training (e.g., ATLS certification, rural trauma courses) and hands-on experience in caring for trauma patients are highly recommended—especially familiarity with primary/secondary surveys and patient transport
