MESSAGE FROM DEPARTMENT HEAD

Welcome to the Department of Emergency Medicine

Welcome to the Dalhousie Department of Emergency Medicine!

We are an enthusiastic group of people dedicated to providing excellent clinical care, researching the latest advances in our specialty, and educating the outstanding students and residents to become the next generation of health care providers. We are located across all three Maritime provinces, from hospitals in small rural locations all the way up to tertiary and quaternary care facilities in major cities. We strive for excellence in all we do, and are proud of our specialty, our heritage, and our collaborations.

We are known for being leaders in many aspects of Emergency Care – including Airway, Prehospital Care, Medical Education, Ultrasound, and Pediatric Emergency care, along with a host of other areas. We strive to provide our learners with the best possible experiences they can have, and pride ourselves on the quality of our students and residents and the training they receive.

We emphasize that Dalhousie is not about Halifax – it is about a diverse and motivated group of people that is spread broadly and reflects many different interests and backgrounds. We are known for our friendliness, for our high standards, and for our dedication.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions, or if you are thinking of joining us some day, or if you just want to engage with us.

Simon
