Emergency Medicine
Dr. Mitch Shulman (or Dr Mitch as he’s known to his many fans on radio, TV and print) has always loved teaching and been actively involved in teaching medical students (he’s an Assistant Professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at McGill), residents (he’s an attending physician in the emergencies at the 2 campuses of the McGill University Health Center) and his peers. He teaches regularly at McGill’s Thursday evening lecture series and its lunchtime webinars and yearly at the McGill Refresher Course for Family Physicians and many other professional meetings. He is also actively engaged in educating the public. He appears daily on Bell Media Radio, monthly on Global TV Montreal’s This Morning and has a regular column in the largest English language weekly in Quebec, The Suburban. He volunteers his time speaking at many charitable events throughout the year. After completing his undergraduate training at Harvard, he came back home to Montreal to attend McGill Medical School and then do a residency in Emergency Medicine (where he was Chief Resident). He was among the first Royal College certified Emergency Medicine specialists (1983) and served as an examiner for the Royal College for many years. He was acting Director of the Emergency Department and served as its Research Director. He’s been a community doc and an occupational health physician. Currently, as well as his emergency department clinical responsibilities, he also serves as a medical scientist on an ethics review committee and works at the McGill Student Health Center. His commitment to his community runs deep. He was its Medical Director responsible for First Response and coached hockey to the Junior level. He still refs local ice hockey and plays. His philosophy on teaching has always been that we all have valuable knowledge to share and so he sincerely looks forward to hearing your own experiences as we share the learning at Sea Courses.
This course is designed for family physicians, specialists, and allied health care professionals. The aim is to provide evidence-based material, as well as practical and relevant clinical pearls that will be easy to implement into one’s own medical practice. Conference attendees will be invited to complete a pre-course Needs Assessment to assist the faculty with the development of their presentations.

Your journey begins in Athens, Europe’s oldest city and the cradle of civilization. This is followed by a day at sea to rest and relax, before enjoying a late-night stay in Alexandria—the gateway to Cairo and the pyramids. The following morning, we arrive in bustling Port Said, the entry point to the Suez Canal by the Mediterranean Sea.
Then it’s on to Jerusalem, where we’ll be staying for three full days (two overnight stays plus a late-night stay). Walk the Stations of the Cross, or see some of the most celebrated shrines on Earth, including the Western Wall and the Dome of the Rock atop the Temple Mount.
We arrive in Haifa the following morning, where an overnight stay gives you plenty of time to discover its archaeological and biblical sites of wonder, including Nazareth, Galilee, the Jordan River, and Elijah’s Cave.
Awake the next morning in Limassol, Cyprus, where you can stroll narrow streets lined with shops, bars, and tavernas, and visit museums and historic sites like the medieval Limassol Castle, built over one thousand years ago.
Enjoy a final blissful day at sea before disembarking in Athens, home to a treasure trove of historic, cultural, archeological sites.
