As a Paramedic with Banff Emergency Medical Services, he has developed a strong integration with Parks Canada Visitor Safety department, aiding in the medical treatment within rescue operations. Mackenzie works as a Critical Care Paramedic across the prairies, where he continues to learn a great deal about prehospital and austere patient care. As a founding member of CAWM Mackenzie is passionate about wilderness medicine. He is an avid skier, mountain biker, hiker, and excessively mediocre xc skier.

Case: This session uses a real-world case to highlight three key principles in prehospital care:

  1. Maintaining a broad differential diagnosis
  2. Actively ruling out less likely but high-risk conditions
  3. Integrating clinical assessment with monitor findings

Attendees will be challenged to think beyond common pathways and reflect on how cognitive bias and overreliance on technology can impact decision-making especially in the wilderness context where technology may not always be present.
