AbstractIn 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.© 2024.
