The Azrieli Brain Medicine Fellowship Program (ABMF) at the University of Toronto is the academic and clinical hub for an interdisciplinary ECHO model on Brain Medicine, which addresses the interface of affect, behaviour, and cognition. As a Project ECHO hub, ABMF links an expert, interprofessional faculty (neurology, psychiatry, psychology, rehabilitation, social work) with community-based providers across Ontario (spokes) via multi-point videoconferencing. Sessions combine brief didactic teaching with interactive case-based learning to translate evidence into practice and extend Brain Medicine model of care to underserved settings.

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.
