Just like your typical emergency room, a trauma center is located within a hospital, in the emergency department. A trauma center is equipped to deal with severe and more life-threatening conditions, and the staff are highly trained in traumatic injuries. These injuries could include stabs or gunshot wounds, major burns, severe falls, brain injuries, traumatic car crash injuries and more. St. Michael’s Hospital is a Level I Trauma Centre, which means that we provide total care for all aspects of an injury.
Emergency rooms are where you go for emergency assistance. An emergency room is equipped with nurses and doctors who are trained to deal with a variety of issues such as signs of a heart attack, fainting, or possible broken limbs. You would go to an emergency room if you experience of have broken bones, fainting, a heart attack or stroke, minor burns, stomach issues and more.

We have compiled an inventory of EDI resources that may be helpful for researchers. This inventory will be updated regularly. If you know of additional helpful EDI resources that are not listed here, please contact VPRI@smh.ca.
Many applications require an institutional letter of support and/or a description of the research environment. To assist, we developed a Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute (LKSKI) Priorities and Resources document summarizing the research priorities of LKSKI and the resources available to our investigators to support their research programs. We also designed a general outline of an institutional letter of support; however, these are only meant to be a guide and can be expanded upon or altered as required for individual applications.
