Teaching and Learning in the Clinical Context (TLC) is a 12-week virtual program with both self-paced, interactive eLearning modules as well asfacilitated group learning sessions.
The goals of the program are for participants to:
1. Develop the foundational knowledge and skills needed to teach in the clinical context.
2. Recognize how to be adaptive clinical teachers, responsive to unique contextual and learner needs.
The program is practical and evidence-informed, enabling clinicians to successfully teach and prepare our learners for the current and future healthcare climate.
Topics Covered in the Modules Include (but are not limited to):
Identity as a clinical teacher
The teaching and learning environment
Power and the teacher-learner partnership
Critical reflection
Identifying learner needs and setting objectives
Educational approaches
Giving and receiving feedback
The learner in difficulty

Recovery Oriented Approach online course
This course is part of the Concurrent Disorders (CD) and the Opioid Dependence Treatment (ODT) Certificate Programs. It is intended for mental health, addiction and allied health professionals who have completed the Concurrent Disorders Core Course and who have experience working with clients with concurrent disorders. The course aims to help these learners further their understanding of the recovery-oriented approach. Most of the content is applicable not just to recovery from both mental illness and substance use issues, but also to recovery from either one or the other. This seven-week course consists of seven modules, allowing learners to focus on one module per week
Education Scholars Program (ESP) 2025-2027 (Year 1 of 2)
The overall goal of the Education Scholars Program (ESP) is to enhance participants’ capacity as education scholars. Working collaboratively to solve common challenges encountered in health professions education, participants will tackle the most pressing issues in: curriculum and program development, program evaluation, and education leadership and system change. This will be accomplished through collaborative and highly applied projects, small and large group exercises, guided observations and other practically-oriented tasks that promote application of theoretical concepts to participants’ own education contexts. Additionally, individual coaching sessions scheduled throughout the program will support participants in their growth as education scholars and leaders. The program is deliberately designed to build connection and community within and beyond the program.
The ESP consists of 5 units. Each unit contains the following:
– five 3-day module (9:00 am – 4:00 pm)
– two or three 3-hour sessions (1:00-4:00 pm) approximately one month apart
– one 1:1 coaching session (self-scheduled)
Bridging Research and Practice in Pediatric Nutrition: A Virtual Learning Series for Health Professionals
This is a 8-part virtual series for healthcare professionals that translates current research into practical strategies for pediatric nutrition care. Covering topics like feeding disorders, allergies, obesity and chronic conditions, it equips providers with evidence-based tools to improve health outcomes for children.
Medical Record-Keeping Program 2025-2026
Medical records tell the complete story of a patient’s healthcare journey. They play a crucial role in providing high-quality patient care. From clinical notes and electronic records, to consultation requests and discharge summaries, learn how to improve your medical records in practice.
Medical Record-Keeping is an interactive program (offered both in-person and online) that addresses the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) Medical Record-Keeping Policies. Using case-based exercises, peer assessments, and training on practice tools, this program provides participants with skills needed to keep good medical records for their patients and their practice.
This program is designed for physicians looking to improve their medical records in practice. It will be of benefit to those who wish to become familiar with documentation tools for clinical encounters and to comply with CPSO policies and legislation as they relate to record keeping.
Structure of the Program
– Over 7 total hours of live, interactive learning
– Available in-person, and online
– Case-based exercises, peer-to-peer learning, and training on practice tools
– Self-assessment activity includes pre- and post-workshop exercises and in-session outcome measures. Questions are based on requirements established by the CPSO and are reviewed and assessed. Outcome measure questions are reviewed in-session, with reference to appropriate answers. Learners receive feedback on exercises via a learner assessment/scorecard.
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.
Pediatric Emergency Medicine Point-of-Care Ultrasound Workshop 2025
This one-day pre-conference workshop is designed to introduce and reinforce core point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) applications relevant to the care of pediatric patients across diverse clinical settings. It is intended for pediatric emergency physicians, general pediatricians, family medicine physicians, hospitalists, trainees, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other allied health professionals who care for children and have novice to intermediate ultrasound experience.
The program integrates didactic and hands-on components, covering core POCUS applications including knobology, lung, cardiac, inferior vena cava (IVC), soft tissue, renal and bladder, rectal diameter measurement, and ultrasound-guided vascular access. Clinical integration is emphasized through case-based discussions for each application.
Participants will rotate through expert-led, small-group hands-on stations designed to maximize scanning time and individualized feedback. Simulation models, volunteer scanning, and image interpretation exercises will be incorporated. A session on documentation and billing practices relevant to the Ontario context is also included.
Pre- and post-workshop learning materials, including open-access modules and reference handouts, will be provided to support longitudinal skill development.
This workshop aligns with competency-based education principles and is designed to facilitate the safe, practical integration of pediatric POCUS across community and hospital-based practice environments
