Under the auspices of the Continuing Professional Development Office at the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry, the Department of Anesthesia and Perioperative Medicine Continuing Medical Education (CME) Program supports a variety of high quality continuing education events aimed at practicing anesthesiologists and affiliated health care professionals. Current activities include departmental rounds (held as monthly city-wide forums across London hospitals); weekly site rounds (held at each hospital site and designed to address issues and topics of local interest) and subspecialty rounds and seminars (organized to meet the educational needs of subspecialty groups e.g., cardiac anesthesia, neuroanesthesia, obstetrical anesthesia, etc.).
The CME Program benefitted substantially in 2012-13 with the addition of Erin Cecchini as Program Coordinator.
In addition, the CME Program hosts several lectureships and accredits local, national or international conferences and workshops supported by the Department and organized by its members.
This year we were pleased to welcome Dr. M. Shazam Hussain – an internationally distinguished academic neuroradiologist in the field of vascular neurology – as our Aitken Lecturer, held jointly with the Department of Neurosurgery.
Several projects have been undertaken by the CME work group in 2012/13, including an internal audit and accreditation renewal of ongoing Departmental CME events with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada; creation of a self-approved events database and internal registration process for new CME events; and the coordination of a videoconferencing platform that enables the broadcast of rounds events to remote locations across the city.
