The Regional Paramedic Program for Eastern Ontario (RPPEO) is excited to announce 2 newly added Trauma Days to the Fall CME lineup.

Following successful Spring 2025 Trauma Days, Eric Gagnon is back to deliver his popular and informative Trauma Day Continuing Medical Education (CME) sessions.

*NEW* - Level 1 Trauma Day & Level 2 Trauma Day

We recognize that there is a varying level of training across paramedics in our region. With this, we want to provide you with the opportunity to attend a day that best suits your learning needs and wants so that you can get the most out of the day. Below is a breakdown of the differences between the different levels of Trauma Day. All paramedics can sign up for either level, but we encourage you to look at and follow our recommendations:

Level 1

· Recommended for those who have not attended a previous Trauma Day

· New entry-to-practice paramedics (<5 years recommended)

· Higher focus and time spent on skills review and practice

· Less focus on scenarios

Level 2

· Recommended for those who have attended previous Trauma Days

· Experienced paramedics (5+ years recommended)

· Higher focus and time spent on bringing a variety of skills together

· Higher focus on scenarios with high fidelity simulations

Continued Hybrid Format for Greater Accessibility

To make the training accessible to more learners, Trauma Days will continue to be offered in a hybrid format. This includes:
