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 and medical residents. The ultimate goal is to close the gap between knowledge and action with regards 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 content of the educational program will be primarily based on the 2017 Canadian Opioid Guideline.

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.
