Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day, we honour the survivors of residential schools and those who didn’t make it home, as well as their families and communities, and we commemorate the history and legacy of residential schools.
The lasting consequences for Indigenous individuals and families affected are not contained within a day and so we continue to acknowledge the thee eat (truth) of our country’s history as we take action to eradicate Indigenous-specific racism in the health care system. Please join us in acknowledging this day and working toward reconciliation through action. Together we can build a truly safe and equitable health care system where everyone feels welcome.

Check out this story about one of our member physician's innovative initiative at Peace Arch Hospital!
Every year, you and more than 1100 other emergency medicine practitioners look after over 2 million patients in 108 emergency departments in BC. From urban to remote settings, you strive to provide the best care for your patients.
Imagine one emergency department with 108 rooms.
The sole purpose of the BC Emergency Medicine Network is to support you; it connects BC emergency practitioners with each other and with current, practical resources via four core programs. And these programs – Clinical Resources, Innovation, Continuing Professional Development, and Real-Time Support – integrate this support under one roof. In this way, the Network connects academics, policy makers, administrators, managers, and patients with front-line clinicians. The Network brings us together to ask and answer questions, share and improve resources, and robustly discuss the issues we face, ideally commenting, criticizing and contributing!
