About Us


Preventing Crashes exists to help build health care training capacity, in Canada and around the world.

Preventing Crashes originated in 2012 during David LaPierre’s family medicine residency at a rural distributed postgraduate training site of Western University. During this time, David was a family doctor who worked in a community clinic and nursing home, as well as provided inpatient care in a community hospital.  He was an adjunct professor at Western University in the Department of Family Medicine.

that patients, or passengers, are really paying for” Dr David Gaba
