Description:

This session will explore the complexities of working in low-resource settings, particularly in remote northern communities. We will discuss challenges such as triaging costly medical flights and utilizing telemedicine for cases which require ACLS, ATLS, and PALS. We will compare case management between resource-limited and resource-abundant environments, and learn about unique infectious diseases of the North. Special focus will be given to the ED Peer Programs, which address specific barriers in low-resource settings. 

Objectives:

• Outline and discuss challenges in low-resource communities.
• Discuss Lessons learned from working in low-resource settings.
• Review and compare the management of cases in low-resource settings vs resource-abundant environments.
• Discuss the ED Peer Programs in several provinces that aim to overcome certain challenges in low-resource settings.
