He is currently completing a Master’s of Science in Epidemiology at the University of Ottawa and, as part of his thesis work, is investigating the use of Artificial Intelligence for clinical decision support in Canadian emergency departments. A cautiously optimistic early adopter of technology in medicine, he is also involved in projects using wearable monitors to detect patient decompensation in emergency waiting rooms and building a large national database of patients with opioid use disorder.

Sean Moore

Speaker

Sean Moore is a rural physician working in Kenora Ontario.  He works at CritiCall, Ornge, NOSM University and Lake of the Woods District Hospital where he is Chief of Staff and an ER physician.   He has 6 kids, so has been told frequently he knows nothing about nothing.   Luckily, through AI, he interprets that to mean he may know something about everything about something, or maybe something about everything. This is what AI thinks he looks like.

Akshay Rajaram

Speaker

Akshay Rajaram is a community emergency physician working in Brockville, ON. Prior to his medical training he completed a Master of Management of Innovation at the University of Toronto. In 2021, he co-founded Caddie Health, an early-stage start-up that developed AI-powered medical billing software for physicians. He has academic interests in the technology transfer of digital health and AI-based research as well as experience commercializing AI models. He looks forward to sharing his insights and lessons learned during these grand rounds.

The pandemic has been hard on Emergency Physicians in Canada.  Already working in overcrowded emergency departments we came together early in the pandemic at CAEP’s virtual town halls.  We shared ideas and expertise from across the country to become stronger and care better for our patients.  After the new normal of the pandemic set in, the need to share expertise and stay connected continued.  National Grand Rounds replaced the virtual town halls and is now where Canada’s Emergency Physicians come to stay connected and up to date on the latest evidence.   Difficult issues within emergency medicine are discussed and debated.  Important clinical topics relevant to every emergency department across the country, from small-town to large urban centre, are covered in this virtual platform.  CAEP’s National Grand Rounds will remain as a silver lining to the many challenges faced by the Emergency Medicine community in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
