2026 Ontario Medical Association 14th Annual Day in Occupational Medicine

The 2026 OMA OEM Section program explores the evolving landscape of occupational medicine through the lens of diverse industries — from pharmaceuticals and aviation to healthcare and beyond. Through a series of engaging presentations and discussions, we’ll examine the common and sector-specific challenges faced by OEM physicians, and the lessons learned in addressing them.

Key themes include the growing recognition of mental health in the workplace, the interface between occupational and legal considerations, and the ways in which different sectors are adapting to new regulatory, technological, and psychosocial realities.

Planning Inclusive Educational Events Workshop for Faculty, Residents and Clinical Fellows

​​The Planning Inclusive Educational Events workshop is an opportunity to promote Temerty Faculty of Medicine’s Inclusive Educational Events Planning Guide (https://temertymedicine.utoronto.ca/inclusive-educational-events-planning-guide) and socialize inclusion considerations with faculty members, medical residents and clinical fellows working and learning in academic, clinical and research environments. By facilitating a live, interactive program with practical examples on using key concepts from the guide, the Office of Inclusion and Diversity and its collaborators aim to promote skills development among participants by enhancing the way they incorporate access, inclusion and belonging in educational event settings in order to increase event relevance, attendance, participation and feedback.

The program design is a 2-hour virtual live workshop which will provide facilitated information on inclusive event planning concepts including avoiding tokenism, selecting diverse speakers, and cultivating social safety. Participants will partake in activities to enhance and apply their knowledge of these concepts including knowledge/perspective sharing, small group exercises, scenario/vignette unpacking, and land acknowledgement development.

3rd Annual Azrieli Brain Medicine Conference

The 3rd Annual Azrieli Brain Medicine Conference, themed “Brain Medicine Across the Lifespan,” brings together clinicians, researchers, educators, and trainees to advance interdisciplinary approaches to complex brain disorders from childhood through older adulthood. The conference will open with remarks from institutional and Foundation leaders, followed by a plenary address by Professor Adam Zeman (University of Exeter), “Reconciling Mind and Brain: Insights from the Study of Memory and Imagination,” exploring cognitive neurology and the integration of subjective and biological perspectives.

Morning sessions will feature Azrieli Brain Medicine Fellows presenting on disease-modifying therapies for dementia, precision diagnoses, and proactive dementia risk reduction. A case competition will highlight real-world clinical complexity, followed by an interactive interdisciplinary panel discussion. Attendees will also engage with trainee research during a dedicated poster session.

The afternoon will include a featured expert panel and concurrent interactive workshops focused on building Brain Medicine within academic health systems across three domains: education, research and evaluation, and clinical care integration. The day will conclude with thematic talks on neurodevelopmental disorders, women’s brain health, and interdisciplinary approaches to disease-modifying therapies across the lifespan. Q&A sessions throughout promote dialogue, and a closing networking reception fosters collaboration and reflection.

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.
