May 4, 2011 Greetings, Mayors and Council Members! Re: Community Action Day – Thursday, June 16th, 2011 Physician recruitment and rural health care issues are important to all our communities. We wish to invite you to attend the 2nd annual Rural Emergency Continuum of Care conference, to be held at the

Delta Grand Okanagan Resort from June 15-18, 2011. As part of the conference program, we will be holding a

Community Action Day on Thursday, June 16th.

Community Action Day is a forum that has been designed to promote dialogue amongst rural communities who

are all dealing with the current health care crisis in BC. This issue is not going away and has become a daily reality

for many communities in BC.

The Rural Coordination Centre of BC is an organization dedicated to rural BC and is a strong advocate of its health

care needs. Our motto is “Enhancing Rural Health through Education”. The Rural Emergency Continuum of Care

conference held its first annual Conference in Kelowna in June of 2010. This is a multidisciplinary conference,

focused on meeting the unique needs of physicians, nurses, first responders, and other health care providers in

rural communities. There were approximately 270 attendees, including 30 residents (new physicians just finishing

their training), medical students, nurses and young physicians just beginning their careers.

The conference was a great success last year, and with the addition of Community Action Day to the program this

year, we anticipate it being even better this year. This exciting initiative is an opportunity to bring leaders of BC’s

rural communities together in a forum designed to discuss issues, share experiments, stimulate ideas and send

delegates home with a renewed sense of hope in the quest for sustainable health care in their communities.

The day will begin with a Plenary Discussion on Disaster Planning, followed by a presentation titled “Safe Drinking

Water—will it be on tap during Emergencies?” The latter part of the morning will be a Town Hall Meeting:

Creative Ways to Handle Rural Healthcare Concerns. Each panel member will give a short presentation; the floor

will then be opened up to questions and dialogue.

Following the Town Hall there will be a Mayors’ Lunch. All conference delegates will likely attend this event (as

lunch is provided) with mayors, or their delegates, being distributed at tables throughout the room. This will be

an opportunity for community members to open dialogue with health care providers at a grass roots level. It will

also be a unique opportunity for recruitment and retention—you will have the chance to talk up your community

to a (hungry) audience of young doctors (and doctors-to-be).

As part of the Community Action, there will be an opportunity for Mayors and other community leaders to meet

for discussion at a Roundtable Session following the Mayor’s Lunch. This will facilitate another opportunity for

620 – 1665 West Broadway 300 – 5950 University Blvd, UBC Vancouver BC V6J 1X1 www.rccbc.ca Vancouver BC V6T 1Z3 t: 604 738-8222 t: 604 827-4753 f: 604 738-8218 f: 604 822-6950 1 877 908-8222

community leaders to network, share concerns and ideas regarding rural healthcare and hopefully go forward with

new ideas, contacts and possibilities of how to tap into and share potential resources.

If your community would be interested in hosting a lunch table and having your community featured, we are able

to offer this at a cost of $300 per table. As part of your sponsorship, you will have special opportunities to

showcase your community by way of contributing photos to be shown throughout the conference. For

communities that are not able to commit to sponsorship, we invite you to consider offering a door prize that

represents your community. This might be prizes relating to goods and products as featured by your citizens or

tourism opportunities like week-end packages.

We invite all communities to bring promotional materials from their area for display in the main room throughout

the day.

Our goal is to have up to 80% of communities and regions throughout rural BC represented. We feel that the

Community Action Day at this conference offers a unique opportunity to make connections with health care

providers, promote your community, aid recruitment and retention of physicians, and help address some of the

concerns surrounding Rural Healthcare and its provision to your community.

We invite you to share this email. Rural healthcare requires rural communities to be at the table and part of the

discussion, not just represented by larger bodies. For a full view of the entirety of the conference, a brochure and

agenda has been attached.

If your community would like to send a delegate and sponsor a lunch table, please complete the attached

confirmation form and return to Rosen Ho at Rosen.h@ubc.ca or fax to 604 875-5078.

If you would like to send photos of your community as part of the sponsorship package, please send an email

CARE: Monday & Tuesday (June 13-14) limit 16 participants The CARE Course – Comprehensive Approach to Rural Emergencies – is an educational package for rural emergency medicine providers. It is produced and spon-sored by the Rural Coordination Centre of BC. This two-day course teaches multi-disciplinary emergency care to rural physicians, nurses and paramedics. It provides interactive, hands-on learning in a fun, warm and supportive interprofessional environment. Medical, trauma and obstetric emergency management are featured with an emphasis on the realities of rural practice. Web-based educational materials are accessible before and after the course to participants, including access to ‘critical pro-cedures’ that may be needed on an occasional basis.

Fees: $750 physicians, $50 nurses, $25 Paramedics Study Credits: Up to 17.5 Mainpro-M1 (CFPC)

PALS: Wednesday (June 15) limit 18 participants

The Pediatric Advanced Life Support course is designed to teach multi-disciplinary emergency care aimed at the pediatric patient. It provides an interactive, scenario based learning environment. Scenarios include cardiac, respiratory and shock cases, in order to develop and practice a systematic team approach to pediatric emer-gency care. Closed loop communication will also be emphasized.

Instructors: Ms. Debbie Cain, Ms. Rosella Jefferson and Dr. David Goranson Fee: $749 (includes course materials) Study Credits: Up to 7.25 Mainpro-M1 (CFPC) & Section 1 (RCPSC)

ACLS-EP: 8-4:30pm Thursday (June 16) limit 18 participants The Advanced Cardiac Life Support – Experienced Provider program is for seasoned providers who wish to attend a course that challenges providers rather than re-peats information in the ACLS provider course. The aim of the ACLS EP course is to expand knowledge beyond the standard primary and secondary survey and to give the participant a systematic approach towards identifying and treating underlying causes of cardiac arrest. This ACLS course for experienced providers will concentrate on 'What’s new in ACLS' and formal recertification in the morning, and in the afternoon will offer interactive learning in advanced topics like interesting ECG cases, stroke management, airway options, and procedures.

Instructors: Dr. David Goranson, Dr. Alec Ritchie and Mr. Chris Sims Fee: $774 (includes course materials) Study Credits: Up to 7.25 Mainpro-M1 (CFPC) & Section 1 (RCPSC)

Finding Medical Evidence: 12–4pm Thursday (June 16) limit 17 participants (Venue:Okanagan College, Computer Lab C344H, 1000 KLO Rd, Kelowna) This interactive workshop will teach physicians to conduct effective internet searches to find credible and evidence-based medical information. Practice online searches using various resources (e.g. PIER, Ovid MEDLINE, STATRef e-books and Clinical Practice Guidelines), search for online journals and explore audio-visual tools for clinical procedures and continuing education. Know how to find authoritative patient information using MedlinePlus and other high quality websites.

Instructor: Mr. Robert Melrose, Librarian, College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC Library Fee: $145 (includes course materials and transportation to the computer lab) Study Credits: Up to 3.5 Mainpro-M1 (CFPC) & Section 1 (RCPSC)

SHOCK Course: 9-5pm Friday (June 17) limit 16 participants The Shock Course is designed specifically for physicians who work in rural settings. Its mandate is to equip you with the skills necessary to diagnose and treat the hemodynamically unstable patient, using only the tools available in the rural ER. The course emphasizes the latest, evidence based standards of care for shock, most of which can be applied in the rural setting. As well as theoretical knowledge about the work up of shock, use of vasopressors, and early goal directed therapy for sep-sis, there is also ample opportunity for hands on practice of central line insertion (volunteering not required!) and the use of bedside ultrasound in the diagnosis and management of shock. There are also several real life case discussions involving complex management issues. This course is suited for both the experienced and the emerging rural doctor.

Instructors: Dr. Francois Louw and Dr. Frank Ackerman Fee: $1075 physicians, $750 residents (includes course materials) Study Credits: Up to 7.0 Section 1 (RCPSC) & Mainpro-M1 (CFPC)

AIME: 8-5:30pm Saturday (June 18) limit 24 participants The AIME program has been providing valued and practical hands-on airway management learning experiences for clinicians around the world for over 10yrs AIME program highlights include: • Case-based clinical decision making

• New practical algorithms

• When, why and how to perform awake or rapid sequence intubation

• New textbook/manual based on the AIME program

• Unique, customized clinical videos

• Limited registration to ensure clinician to instructor ratios of 5 or 6:1

• Clinician to simulator ratios of 2:1

• Reinforcement of core skills

• Introduction to newer alternative devices (optical stylets, video laryngoscopes & others)

• Exposure to rescue devices (King laryngeal tubes, LMA Supreme and others)

AIME educators are experienced (and entertaining) clinical instructors who understand the varied work environments of practicing clinicians. Whether you work in a large, high volume centre or a small remote setting, AIME will provide a practical approach for airway management in emergencies.

Instructors: Dr. Alec Ritchie, Dr. Nick Balfour, Dr. Paul Linden and Dr. James Thompson Fees: CAEP Member Physician $1095/$1145 , Non-Member Physician $1450/1500 Study credits: 8 MAINPRO C (CFPC)/ Section 1 (RCPSC)
