What's new at CAEP.ca

News

CJEM 2002;4(3):229

This past year has seen significant growth at www.caep.ca. Improvements in features, functionalities, and user-friendliness have been developed and implemented since the new CAEP Web site debuted in March 2001. As of February 2002, CAEP's 24-hour window to the world had experienced an increase in daily visits of over 100%. Here are some section highlights.

  1. The Welcome Page brings you up to speed on the latest CAEP developments and activities, as well as the latest from CJEM.

  2. Committees & Sections allows you to become more involved with CAEP activities via an on-line committee volunteer form.

  3. Position Statements & Guidelines is the place to find CAEP's most recent documents such as the Romanow submission, Paediatric CTAS, and Canadian Emergency Department Information Systems (CEDIS) document.

  4. CME/CPD describes CAEP's CME events, including the famous CAEP Roadshows. Check here in the future for the several CAEP Roadshows now in the planning stages.

  5. CJEM Online is where you can find the Canadian Journal of Emergency Medicine, full text, as far back as Volume 1, No. 1. You will also find CJEM Supplements and back issues of the MI Letter.

  6. Research brings the CAEP Research Committee and the CAEP Research Consortium together. Looking to become more involved in EM Research? Uncle Brian (Rowe) wants you!

  7. Residents sees Adam Lund leading the way in making this section more robust than ever. Here, you will find the standardized CFPC(EM) application, awards info, residency links and contacts, and more. As well, an Online Residency Catalogue will soon be making its debut.

  8. Discussion lists are now active for EmergCanada, the Residents' Section, and the Provincial Liaison Committee. Whether you are looking for advice, trying to find out how things function elsewhere, want to express an opinion, or have a political axe to grind, the EmergCanada Discussion List is the place to communicate with others in the field of emergency medicine.

  9. Employment opportunities abound! Check out the possibilities here.

  10. Regional Pages contains country-wide provincial links, as well as the EM section annual newsletters of the OMA and BCMA.

  11. IFEM (International Federation of Emergency Medicine)/International is your ticket to Edinburgh, Scotland, and this June's ICEM conference. As well, CAEP's newly-minted International EM Committee's Web presence can be found here.

  12. Links contains an ever-growing list of national and international EM-related organizations from where you can surf the EM world. Please send us any suggestions for worthy EM-related links.

  13. Search tool will get you quickly to what you are looking for on www.caep.ca, whether in CJEM or on the rest of the Web site. A members-only Search Members tool has been on the back burner, but will make its debut in the coming months.

The CAEP Web site is a work in progress. Any time is a good time for CAEP members and nonmembers alike to make suggestions (info@caep.ca) regarding what they would like to see at www.caep.ca.

Kudos go to Dave Williams and the gang at Soft Dog WebWorks, our Web site developer. Many thanks also go to the Web site editorial committee and the gang at CAEP's Head Office for their valuable contributions and tireless support.
