UBC RCPS-EM Resident Wins 2014 CAEP Resident Research Award

Congratulations to UBC RCPS-EM Senior Resident Dr. Wailliam Lee, who won a CAEP 2014 Resident Research Award for his abstract submission titled: Effect of Triage Nurse Initiated Radiography Using the Ottawa Ankle Rules on Emergency Department Length of Stay at a Tertiary Care Center. This randomized trial was recently completed at Vancouver General Hospital, and the research team included DEM Faculty Co-Investigators Drs. Lyne Filiatrault and Riyad Abu-Laban. Wailliam will be presenting the results of this study at the CAEP Conference in Ottawa in June 2014, and the abstract will be published (along with a special mention of the award) in the Canadian Journal of Emergency Medicine. Developing and completing an RCT during residency training is a rare and impressive achievement; well done Wailliam!
