Meet one of the 2018 Council Award winners:
Dr. Sarah Reid

Dr. Sarah Reid, an Ottawa expert in pediatric emergency medicine, was presented with the College's Council Award at the June Council meeting in recognition of her work to ensure children across Canada receive evidence-based, high quality pediatric emergency care. 

Dr. Reid is a pediatrician in the emergency department at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). She is also the medical lead for CHEO's Emergency Department Outreach Program, and an assistant professor in pediatrics and emergency medicine at the University of Ottawa. 

It is well known that the majority of ill and injured children in Canada are treated not in tertiary care centres, but in community emergency departments where the physicians and nurses often have fewer resources and less experience and training in treating severely ill children. As the founding medical lead for the Outreach Program, Dr. Reid has been at the forefront of the creation and implementation of a program that provides outreach education to the 20 community hospitals within the Champlain and the South East LHINs to facilitate broad standardization of evidence-based care.
