University of Toronto Centre for Patient Safety:
2009-2010 Certificate in
Patient Safety and Quality Improvement
Dear Faculty,
Last year, Drs. Ed Etchells (Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre), Kaveh Shojania (SHSC), Chaim Bell (St. Michael’s Hospital), Anne Matlow (Sick Kids Hospital), and Chris Hayes (St. Michael’s) ran a Certificate Course through the University of Toronto’s Centre for Faculty Development. This course filled to capacity within two weeks of the announcement. The 39 participants came from the Departments of Medicine, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Surgery, Family & Community Medicine, and Radiology and represented all of the core University of Toronto teaching hospitals. Their academic ranks included subspecialty residents and fellows (5), Clinical Associates (2), Lecturers (8), Assistant Professors (14), and Full Professors (3), including one Division Head. These individuals predominantly came from the Faculty of Medicine, but this year’s course has been modified to increase multidisciplinary participation.
The course consists of didactic and interactive sessions roughly 2 Friday afternoons per month from October to May. Interested individuals can also use the course as an opportunity to develop projects in patient safety or quality improvement that they plan to implement in their respective institutions.
Formal and informal feedback from last year’s course has been uniformly positive, so the course is being offered again under the auspices of both the Centre for Faculty Development and the newly created University of Toronto Centre for Patient Safety. Guest lectures include prominent local and external researchers and decision makers (e.g., from the Ministry of Health), as well as the course directors.
The full course description and link to the registration form can be found at http://www.deptmedicine.utoronto.ca/Faculty/patient_safety.htm

"Landmark Lecture"
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of Martin Strauss, Lee Errett, Subodh Verma and the Division of Cardiovascular Surgery, St. Michael's Hospital, University of Toronto, I am pleased to invite you to the acclaimed "Landmark Lecture" series. The Landmark Lecture is a unique educational platform introduced by our division over the past four years, and complements our efforts to enhance research, education, clinical care, and inter-specialty collaboration within the Greater Toronto Area. Established in 2006, the Landmark Lecture series featured Dr. Salim Yusuf in its inaugural year, Dr. Eugene Braunwald in 2007, and Dr. Steven Nissen in 2008. Over 300 members of Toronto's cardiovascular community have attended each Landmark Lecture.
Dr. Louis Ignarro is the Landmark Lecturer for 2009. Dr. Ignarro was the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (1998) for his discovery of the role of Nitric Oxide as a key "signaling" molecule between cells, a discovery that has had tremendous impact in all medical specialties and life sciences. Dr. Ignarro's lecture is entitled "Nitric Oxide as the Molecule of Life".
Please reserve the evening of Tuesday October 13, 2009 at 6pm to join us at the Hilton Hotel (145 Richmond Street West) for a memorable evening with Dr. Louis Ignarro. A formal invitation can be downloaded at http://www.medresearch.utoronto.ca/Landmark.pdf lecture Oct. 13, 2009. We encourage you to RSVP quickly, since we expect that this event will be oversubscribed. We look forward to seeing you at the 2009 Landmark Lecture.
All the best.
