The BCMA Section of Emergency Medicine has done a great deal to advance the interests of all brands of Emergency Physicians in the province over the past several years. All emergency physicians, whether members of the section or not, have benefitted from this work. We hope that those of you who have not yet supported the section through membership dues will reconsider as we move forward, and re-invest a small fraction of what you have gained by joining.

SEM Executive Read More
Dr. David Haughton - President
I have been practicing Pediatric Emergency Medicine since 1985, having trained at Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. I moved to Vancouver in 1991 and have worked in Emergency at BC Children’s Hospital since 1992. I have been collaborating and communicating with the Adult Emergency community since soon after my arrival: teaching VGH FRCP residents, designing our BCCH Pediatric Practice plan based on those of the St Paul’s, Royal Columbian and VGH groups, participating in BCMA Section of Emergency meetings since 2001, and representing your interests to UBC Medical School on the board of the University Clinical Faculty Association (2002-2006). I have been a participant in the Academic Working Group’s formation of the Department of Emergency Medicine (UBC). I am (exceedingly happily) married to Lyne Filiatrault, attending physician in the Emergency Department of VGH.

Dr. Adam Lund
Adam grew up in Vancouver, attending UBC for undergrad and medical school. For a change, he went to the University of Alberta to complete his specialty training in Emergency Medicine. As a glutton for punishment, he then finished a Master of Distance Education degree from Athabasca University. Academic interests include education, e-learning, disaster medicine and prehospital care, pediatric Emergency Medicine, trauma and forensics. He is very interested in photography, and dabbles in a side business with his wife, Shana. His daughters, Aliyah and Nadia, are learning to hate cameras. He is grateful for the past work of the Section of Emergency Medicine, and hopes to contribute in a positive way to the growth of EM in BC through participation in the executive.
