2014 (formerly RECC)

This annual rural conference provides accessible, accredited, interprofessional CME and CPD for rural healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurses, first responders, and paramedics.

There are three streams of study at the 2014 RECC conference:

• Emergency Medicine
• Wilderness Medicine – NEW – This one-day course will appeal to physicians who want to explore self-directed, austere environment emergency medicine and is ideal training for doctors who enjoy outdoor recreation or are interested in working Search and Rescue
• Mentorship – NEW – This stream will explore formal mentorship as well as other learning supports, including teaching, coaching and peer counselling. Ideal for healthcare professionals who are interested in teaching or who are looking to be mentored.

Participants may attend sessions from any of the three streams; however, seating is limited for select sessions. Register early to guarantee your seat.
