• This teaching resource explains the work of Dr Catherine Patocka, an emergency medicine doctor, and Dr Jessalyn Holodinsky, a data scientist, both from the University of Calgary. They are using data science to improve emergency medicine care.

• This resource also contains an interview with Catherine and Jessalyn and offers an insight into careers in emergency medicine.

• The activity sheet provides ‘talking points’ (based on Bloom’s Taxonomy) to prompt students to reflect on Catherine and Jessalyn’s work and challenges them to design their own feedback-based learning health system to improve their local ED.

This resource was first published by Futurum Careers, a free online resource and magazine aimed at encouraging 14-to-19-year-olds worldwide to pursue careers in science, tech, engineering, maths, medicine (STEM) and social sciences, humanities and the arts for people and the economy (SHAPE).
