The Saskatoon site of the FM-EM residency program offers a comprehensive FMR3 learning experience in a tertiary care hospital setting. Residents will rotate through a number of emergency medicine and subspecialty service rotations throughout the year, while participating in a number of longitudinal academic and clinical activities.

The EM academic curriculum is tied closely to the other two Saskatchewan FM-EM training sites in Regina and Swift Current, as well as the Royal College Emergency Medicine residency training program in Saskatoon. This includes shared weekly academic half day experiences, hands on ultrasound rounds, procedure rounds, and simulation. Our program offers monthly oral and written exam practice, and textbook rounds in order to prepare residents for both practice and their licensing exam. The large majority of the EM year is is focused on tailoring towards individualized learning goals. 

Features unique to the Saskatoon FM-EM program include an intensive simulation program specific to the resident group, central line training, and individual ultrasound teaching. Previous residents have been successful in obtaining both core and resuscitation independent practitioner ultrasonography status during the year. Residents areable to schedule their own EM rotations, allowing for flexibility. Anesthesia is offered as a longitudinal rotation throughout the year in order for residents to have continued airway exposure. 

The Saskatoon FM-EM program consists of dedicated EM faculty from various training backgrounds with a strong interest in teaching and providing a hands-on clinical experience. Faculty advisors and mentorship programs have also been established to provide periodic reviews and guidance as learners progress through various stages of their training year.

The Regina site of the FM-EM residency program offers a comprehensive FMR3 learning experience in a tertiary care hospital setting. Residents will rotate through a number of emergency medicine and subspecialty service rotations throughout the year, while participating in a number of longitudinal academic and clinical activities.

The EM academic curriculum is tied closely to the other two Saskatchewan FM-EM training sites in Saskatoon and Swift Current, as well as the Royal College Emergency Medicine residency training program based out of Saskatoon. This includes shared weekly academic half-day experiences, oral and written examination practice, ultrasound teaching, procedural rounds, and simulation. There are also unique learning experiences specific to the Regina program, including in situ simulation sessions, longitudinal plastic surgery teaching, and a series of ‘resident’s choice’ academic activities.

Faculty advisors and mentorship programs have also been established to provide periodic reviews and guidance as learners progress through various stages of their training year.

The Swift Current site of the FM-EM residency program has been uniquely designed as a longitudinal integrated residency based in a small regional centre. The purpose of this design is to encourage residents to maintain their primary care proficiency while gaining enhanced Emergency Medicine expertise. The program will nest FMR3 training within a full-service regional practice. Within the longitudinal curriculum there is extensive critical care training, but also additional experience in obstetrics, inpatient medicine, and weekly primary care half day clinics. This format replicates the realistic schedule and competencies of a regional or rural physician in Canada and will equip our learners for a full scope of practice as emergency medicine experts in rural, regional, urban or academic settings.

While being based in a small regional centre, residents will follow a provincial academic program which utilizes provincially and locally generated content. Residents will also be offered career guidance and mentorship through a Faculty Advisor, who will meet regularly with the resident to ensure that they are progressing through the longitudinal integrated curriculum, meeting program requirements, as well as accomplishing individualized learning goals.

To complement 34 weeks of Emergency Department based longitudinal integrated clinical time, residents are provided 8 weeks of elective time. They may use this elective time to target any specific personal learning goals or pursue ongoing longitudinal experiences locally. Residents will receive tertiary hospital training in Trauma, pediatric emergency medicine, and transition to practice.

If residents are traveling for mandatory rotations or academics, mileage and housing will be provided.
