Saturday and Sunday, March 22 – 23, 2025
The Dentistry’s Essentials of Emergency Medicine (DEEM) program provides an immersive hands-on opportunity to practice managing medical emergency scenarios in a safe environment, using human patient simulators and standardized patient actors. This workshop is designed to engage participants in challenging clinical cases and enable them to problem-solve in a manner that is similar to a live clinical experience. You will use real medical equipment, learn to read a patient monitor and interact with dynamically responding simulated patients.
Experts from emergency medicine, paramedicine, dental anesthesiology and perioperative care were involved in developing this course content which led to the creation of a novel, evidence-based, state-of-the-art program. The clinical scenarios are designed to meet several learning objectives, including developing your skills in not only medical knowledge but also interpersonal communication, team leadership, resuscitation dynamics and systems-based practice.

- to increase your knowledge of up-to-date (pre-hospital) emergency medicine topics important to dentistry
- To recognize signs and symptoms of an acutely unwell patient and determine the level of urgency
