Applied Venous Disease & Program Building for Allied Health Professionals

This program is designed for allied health professionals who are involved in venous care pathways. The program provides a comprehensive introduction to venous disease, covering foundational concepts through to clinical applications. Content includes anatomy and pathophysiology, imaging fundamentals, workflow integration, and practical considerations for supporting a venous program.

The program is delivered over six months through weekly live webinars accompanied by short answer self-assessments to reinforce learning. The course uses a curriculum that progresses from basic to clinical topics, incorporating case-based learning and imaging-focused sessions. Participants will receive guidance on how to set up and support a venous program, including best practices in patient selection, coordination, and management. Educational methods will include interactive lectures, multidisciplinary discussions, self-assessments, oral presentations, and mentorship from experienced faculty to ensure knowledge translation into clinical and operational practice. An exclusive alumni discussion forum will support ongoing mentorship, case sharing, and practice integration after program completion.

Advanced Venous Disease Program for Neurovascular Clinicians

This program is an advanced, multi-modal training course designed for neurosurgeons, interventional neuroradiologists, and interventional neurologists seeking comprehensive education in venous disorders. The curriculum covers the full spectrum of venous pathology, including anatomy, embryology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, imaging interpretation, patient selection, procedural decision-making, surgical treatments, and peri-procedural management. Participants will also explore emerging evidence, challenging cases, and evolving techniques in neurovascular venous intervention.

The program is delivered over eight months, 3-4 hours weekly through scheduled live webinars, interactive case discussions, and assignments to reinforce learning. Participants will apply concepts through imaging review sessions, clinical decision-making exercises, and faculty-led case-based evaluations. The program culminates in a 3 day in-person observership at St. Michael’s Hospital, where learners will directly observe venous procedures, multidisciplinary rounds, and real-world patient management. An exclusive alumni discussion forum will support ongoing mentorship, case sharing, and practice integration after program completion.

This activity is designed to provide a rigorous, immersive, and practice-transforming learning experience for physicians seeking to establish or advance expertise in venous disorders and neurovascular intervention.

Online Opioid Self-Assessment Program

We are offering an Online Opioid Self-Assessment Program (SAP) to help participants identify areas where improvement is required. This program’s target population is physicians, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, medical educators, medical students, and medical residents. The ultimate goal is to close the gap between knowledge and action with regard to the use of opioids for chronic non-cancer pain. The 2017 Canadian Opioid Guideline recommendations were developed to help physicians make appropriate decisions to start a trial of opioid therapy for CNCP and to guide them in the monitoring of long-term opioid therapy, the detection of situations involving misuse, including addiction, and the appropriate response to such situations. The Guideline was updated in 2025 and the content of the educational program has been modified based on the 2025 Canadian Opioid Guideline. The instructional design of the program is knowledge-based. There will be case-based learning (e.g., vignettes and discussions), question-and-answer periods, and Self-assessment questions throughout the course.

Best Practices in Education Rounds (BPER) – 2025-2026

Best Practices in Education Rounds (BPER) are organized by the Centre for Faculty Development (CFD) and co-sponsored by The Wilson Centre and the Centre for Advancing Collaborative Healthcare & Education (formerly the Centre for Interprofessional Education), our fellow Faculty of Medicine Extra-Departmental Units. Presentations are held virtually synchronously. Best Practices in Education Rounds provides the opportunity to share ‘cutting-edge’ and provocative ideas with a wide audience of interested health professional teachers, educators, leaders, and scholars. BPER provides value to participants through its short, succinct format with interactive components. These one-hour presentations focus on health professions education and faculty development topics and include concepts from a variety of education perspectives, linking education research with practice. Rounds are offered 8-9 times per academic year.

The Five Weekend Care of the Elderly Certificate Course 2026

The Five Weekend Care of the Elderly Certificate Course is an enhanced learning experience that is of greater depth than a Continuing Medical Education (CME) conference, but not as time consuming as a one-year clinical care of the elderly fellowship. It is aimed at primary care physicians (family physicians/trainees/nurse practitioners) who want to develop their own clinical skills or function as resources in their group practices. Geriatric “pearls” gained from experienced clinicians are provided.
