A long flight to the hospital: Trauma Management and First Response Training in Subarctic Canada
with Dr. Aaron Orkin
Monday 31st May 2010, 8pm - Barclay Room, Green Templeton College
Aaron is a family doctor from Canada, with experience working in subarctic First Nations communities and with other rural and remote populations. His presentation will discuss logistical and clinical challenges in managing trauma in remote and isolated settings. Aaron will present early findings from a new project designed to develop emergency first response skills in Sachigo Lake, an isolated subarctic community accessible only by air. Participants will address real clinical scenarios and decisions, as well as some of the cultural and anthropological aspects of practising medicine and teaching first aid in these settings. No clinical experience or training is necessary.
