Our final journal club of the academic year was host to another stimulating conversation about recent relevant publications in the Emergency Medicine literature (and some good food!). We discussed Salbutamol: MDI vs nebs from a cost-effectiveness standpoint, the cost analysis of public drug coverage and the core statistical concepts of establishing causality and confounding variables. Many thanks to Dr. Petrease Patton for hosting us in her lovely home and thanks to Dr. Alaina Aguanno for her ongoing efforts to select papers for JC that are current, relevant and thought-provoking!​ 

Congratulations to everyone who presented at our annual Resident Research Day. Once a year, we come together to hear all about the exciting things happening in the WestERn research community. This year was no different! 

A big thank you to our guest speaker for the day, Dr. Marco Sivilotti, from Queen's University. Dr. Sivilotti's keynote reminded us of the importance of "making your research last". 

A big thank you to our Department Research Coordinators, Kristine Van Aarsen and Melanie Columbus, for their year-long efforts to help out with resident research but also for their efforts in putting this event together.
