<p>Khangura, J., <strong>Primavesi, R.</strong> &amp; Patocka, C. A paradigm shift: from overcoming to dismantling equity barriers in EM. <i>Can J Emerg Med</i> 26, 219–220 (2024).</p> <p>Despite progress in gender parity among physicians, gender inequity persists in Emergency Medicine. In their recent publication in CJEM, Dr. Primavesi and his fellow authors call for dismantling systemic barriers through a paradigm shift from addressing individual challenges to tackling the root causes that privilege certain groups.</p>

<p><br /> Dr. Primavesi has been working with the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) Committee at CAEP to develop and implement a 2SLGBTQIA+ emergency medicine curriculum at a national level.  The article is an evaluation of the introductory module to sexual orientation and gender identity in emergency medicine, first of 10 modules in production.  Dr. Julian Hughes, current McGill CCFP(EM) resident, has developed the 5th module on Sexual History Taking for the ER Doc that he presented at Wednesday Morning Rounds in January. </p>
