Abstract
in English, French

In 2018, the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians (CAEP) academic symposium included developing recommendations on supporting global emergency medicine (EM) in Canadian departments and divisions. Members of CAEP's Global EM committee created a four-part series to be published in CJEM that would build upon the symposium recommendations. The objective is to offer practical tools to EM physicians interested in becoming involved in Global EM, as well as provide departments with successful Canadian case examples that foster, facilitate, and grow Global EM efforts. This submission is the fourth paper of the series which focuses on education and continuing professional development for Global EM. It includes resources for resident global EM electives, fellowship training and ongoing or additional CPD training for practicing EM physicians. It also highlights the importance of pre-departure training and other required elements of engaging responsibly in Global EM work.

RéSUMé: En 2018, le symposium universitaire de l’Association canadienne des médecins d’urgence (ACMU) comprenait l’élaboration de recommandations sur le soutien de la médecine d’urgence mondiale (MU) dans les départements et divisions canadiens. Les membres du comité mondial de la GU de l’ACMU proposent une série de quatre articles qui seront publiés dans la MCEM et qui s’appuieront sur les recommandations du symposium. L’objectif est d’offrir des outils pratiques aux médecins en GU qui souhaitent s’impliquer dans la GU mondiale, ainsi que de fournir aux départements des exemples de cas canadiens réussis qui favorisent, facilitent et développent les efforts en GU mondiale. Ce mémoire est le quatrième article de la série qui se concentre sur l’éducation et le développement professionnel continu pour Global EM. Il comprend des ressources pour les cours au choix internationaux de GU des résidents, la formation de fellowship et la formation continue ou supplémentaire de DPC pour les médecins praticiens de GU. Il souligne également l’importance de la formation préalable au départ et d’autres éléments requis pour s’engager de manière responsable dans le travail de gestion des urgences à l’échelle mondiale.
