Long COVID Web ECHO program 2026-2027
Oct. 23, 2026 - Oct. 29, 2027This is an application for a monthly virtual Community of Practice (COP) program which uses the ECHO model.
ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is an established platform that has been used at UHN and in other centers in Ontario to train healthcare providers in remote and underserved areas (Zhou et al, 2016).
Post COVID-19 Condition (PCC) – also referred to as Long COVID- is a relatively new disease and the science is ever evolving. Our Long COVID ECHO program will serve as a platform for our healthcare practitioners to share new findings, discuss the latest guidelines and learn best practices from each other to treat the 3.5 million (or 11.7% of adult) Canadians who have PCC (StatsCan, 2023).
We are building a collaborative and interconnected Community of Practice to respond to this urgent and unique health challenge, which will accelerate the knowledge to practice continuum, to respond to person-centered needs and improve the lives of Canadians living with PCC. In our application and program, we use the term "Long COVID" to mean this condition.
Canada’s Chief Science Adviser (2022) established a task force in July 2022 to advise on ways to address post-Covid-19 condition in Canada. Below are some of this task force’s recommendations:
1. Provide timely and equitable access to person-centered care pathways for individuals living with PCC across the health care continuum regardless of ability, age, gender, geographic location or socio-economic or cultural background.
2. Establish a Canada-wide research and clinical care network for PCC and other similar post-infection chronic conditions to harmonize and coordinate efforts nationally and internationally.
We are doing just that (the two priorities above) with our ECHO program on Long COVID.

From Menopause to Menarche and Beyond: Advances in Nutrition and Women’s Health
January 29, 2027Advancing Nutrition and Women’s Health Across the Life Course
Women experience unique nutritional and health needs across the life course, yet important gaps remain in research, clinical practice, and equitable access to evidence-informed care. Emerging evidence continues to demonstrate the critical role of nutrition in supporting reproductive health, menopause, cardiometabolic health, cancer survivorship, musculoskeletal health, and age-related chronic disease risk.At the same time, growing recognition of sex- and gender-specific influences on nutrition research and clinical practice has highlighted the need for more inclusive research, improved knowledge translation and tailored approaches to nutrition care.
Exploring Current and Emerging Evidence
From Menarche to Menopause and Beyond: Advances in Nutrition and Women's Health is an engaging, interdisciplinary and evidence-informed conference designed to advance understanding of the role of nutrition in women’s health from adolescence through older adulthood.Bringing together leading researchers and clinicians, this conference will explore current evidence related to reproductive health conditions such as polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), infertility and endometriosis; the physiological and metabolic changes associated with perimenopause and menopause; nutrition strategies to support cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and mental health; and the emerging developments in personalized nutrition, gene–diet interactions, and nutritional supplementation in women’s care.
Translating Evidence Into Practice
A central focus of the conference is the translation of research evidence into practical applications. Sessions will examine sex- and gender-specific considerations in nutrition research, GLP-1–based therapies and cardiometabolic health, and the importance of equity, cultural responsiveness, and inclusive research approaches to care.Through expert presentations, panel discussions, and interactive dialogue, attendees will gain practical knowledge and evidence-informed strategies to support women’s health across diverse populations and clinical settings.

Foundational Certificate in Narrative-Based Medicine (Spring 2027)
March 4 - June 10, 2027Narrative-based medicine is premised on the understanding that, knowingly and unknowingly, practitioners and patients together construct narratives over the course of their encounters; that these stories – with their multiple characters, conflicts and desires, subtleties and miscommunications – affect the nature and meaning of health events in all our lives; and that getting better at working with stories of all kinds has a powerful impact on both patient care and clinician fulfillment.
Jointly led by an expert in narrative-based medicine and an accomplished writer, both of whom have extensive experience working with health professionals, this intensive program is taught in two parts: NBM Principles and Practices focuses on the theory and practice of narrative-based medicine while Writing and Narrative Craft seeks to improve learners’ creative and reflective skills as writers and readers.
The program is Canada’s only virtual intensive certificate program in narrative-based clinical practice. Domestic and international learners across all disciplines are welcome.
