» Workshop Descriptions
Cultivating the Education Leader in You
In this workshop, participants will define education leadership for the health professions, discuss effective practices and perspectives of education leaders, and identify various lenses for analyzing issues within educational leadership issues.
Susan Lieff MD, Med, MMan, Director, New and Emerging Academic Leaders Program and Academic Leadership Development, Centre for Faculty Development, Faculty of Medicine at St Michael’s Hospital, Vice-Chair, Education, Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto
Surviving the Shipwreck Together: An Interactive, Interprofessional Role-playing Activity for Teams
Join us for a fun and interactive learning journey, where we actively experience and reflect on the key elements of effective team collaboration. Get a “sneak preview” of Sunnybrook’s new core competencies for interprofessional team collaboration, and leave with tips and strategies that can be applied to your team setting.
Tracey DasGupta, Director, Interprofessional Practice and Siobhan Donaghy, Professional/Collaborative Practice Leader, Occupational Therapy (St. John’s Rehab), Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre
Mindfulness: Embedding Wellbeing in Education
This workshop will introduce participants experientially and interactively to basic principles of mindfulness, a psychological and meditative approach to increasing awareness, choice and adaptive responsiveness. Participants will explore together the inter-relationship of mindfulness, wellbeing and education.
Steve Selchen, MD, Mst, FRCPC, Staff Psychiatrist, Director, Sunnybrook Psychiatry Institute for Continuing Education, Head, Mindfulness-based Interventions, University of Toronto, Department of Psychiatry, Head, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Mindfulness-based Interventions, Department of Psychiatry, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre
Excellence in Teaching & Learning: A Competencies Model
This session will explore the Teaching Excellence Competencies Model and how it relates to teachers within a health-care context (i.e., not profession-specific). It will identify an actionable set of relational competencies that describe an excellent teacher (as opposed to a minimally competent teacher) as well as describe a set of competencies for teaching excellence that will not only promote alignment of resources, tools, professional development and evaluation within the system, but will be a tool used by educators and faculty developers to inform their work. This model is not intended to be prescriptive or directive, however, it is meant to be used as a guide to assist individuals and organizations to develop their thinking and practices about teaching and the ongoing pursuit of excellence in teaching and learning. Individuals who have roles as teachers, faculty developers, leaders/administrators, scholars and student/learners can use this framework, and can situate themselves at any place in the excellent teacher competency.
Shamena Maharaj, Director, Human Resources and Organizational Development & Leadership, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Mandy Lowe, Director of Education, University Health Network and Acting Director, Centre for Interprofessional Education at University of Toronto
Context, Content & Connection: Applying Affective Approaches to Effect Learning
Emerging research shows that connecting with others on an emotional (affective) level may bring about much better outcomes whether you are working with patients, students or colleagues. Engaging learners to connect the learning content to their individual contexts is foundational in adult learning yet the area of affective domain may be often neglected. This workshop incorporates the Sunnybrook/CSTD Educator Competency framework to build on how simple (yet not easy) affective approaches may influence learning and transfer of knowledge.
Diana Goliss, MA, Organizational Development & Leadership Associate, Cathy Lemieux, BScN, Organizational Development & Leadership Associate, and Haesun Moon, MEd, Organizational Development & Leadership Associate, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre
Health Literacy: An Overview
Low health literacy impacts many Canadians and has significant impact on health outcomes, patient experience and costs to our health care system. Understanding what influences health literacy from both an individual skills perspective and the system perspective is essential for any personal who provides education to patients, families and caregivers. This session will provide an overview of health literacy, the latest research in this area and the universal precautions to improve health literacy.
Tamara Harth, Patient Education Manager, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and Provincial Head Patient Education, Cancer Care Ontario
Optimizing the Learning Management System in your Practice
Learning Management System enhances the administrative and management support needed to enroll, track and report on all education courses and training programs. This workshop will provide you with the process and examples of how other departments in Sunnybrook have integrated the LMS into their day-to-day practice.
Christopher Townsend, Manager, Organizational Development & Leadership, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre
Conceptualizing and Using Transfer in Health Professions Research and Practice
For many, getting trainees to transfer their learning is the ultimate goal of health professions education. Thus, researchers and educators often seek to understand how to optimize this transfer of knowledge and skills to clinical practice. However, there is little discussion on exactly what transfer means or how best to conceptualize it. We will describe the current state of research on transfer in the health professions literature and provide a new framework to guide future research and practice of this phenomenon.

Invisible Gorillas and Hidden Dogs: How an Awareness of Implicit Bias Can Help Us to Become Better Negotiators, Mentors and Leaders in Academic Health Professions Education
In an increasingly competitive and resource-strapped academic environment, “getting to yes” can be a challenge. High risk, high stakes conversations have become the norm in academic health sciences centres, and few clinical educators have acquired the formal skills to manage workplace negotiations effectively. This workshop explores implicit views and biases that may impact teaching, mentorship and leadership. Effective strategies for managing problematic negotiations will be explored and attendees will have the opportunity to reflect on ways of reframing these types of dialogues.

Introduction to Health Professions Education Research
Presented by experts in a range of research techniques and methods, this workshop will introduce participants to the fundamental principles of design and conducting rigorous health professions education research. Participants should come ready to engage with possible research questions that flow from their educational practice. No previous research experience required.

Sivan Keren Young, Manager, Digital Communications and Brent Creelman, Senior Digital Strategist and Social Media Lead
Measuring Clinical Competencies: Patient Safety in Paramedic Clinical Practice
The Medical Directors of the Sunnybrook Centre for Prehospital define and authorize the scope of practices for 2,300 Primary and Advanced Care Paramedics and delegate controlled medical acts to complement that scope. The realm of paramedicine is unique in that Paramedics utilize their scope of practice in an autonomous manner. The clinical practice decisions and medical interventions pose potential risk to patient safety.
To reliably assess clinical competence in context, the paramedic certification process was designed to measure all identified domains (e.g., decision-making, communication, situational awareness) of expected performance using a validated assessment tool and standardized examination activities. The process measures the application and integration of knowledge, skills, and attributes in paramedic practice and results are linked to the continuous quality improvement processes with ongoing competency assessment throughout a paramedic’s career.
This session will introduce the learner to reliable performance-based competency assessment processes that have application across health care professions where clinical judgment directly affects optimal patient care and safety.
Maud Huiskamp, Senior Manager, Regional Base Hospital Program, Sunnybrook Centre for Prehospital Medicine, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre
Simulation – Debriefing Simplified
In this workshop, learners will identify the purpose and benefits of debriefing, develop an enhanced awareness and importance of debriefing strategies and demonstrate the application of three debriefing strategies. This workshop is intended for learners that are at a novice to intermediate level and have some experience in simulation and debriefing.
Susan DeSousa, Simulation Centre Coordinator, and Agnes Ryzynski, Simulation Centre Coordinator, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre
STUDENT WORKSHOP: Enhance your Learning Through Reflective Practice
In this student-focused workshop, participants will explore the integral role of wellness, creativity and spirituality in optimizing the learning process. Interactive activities will engage the participants in exploring a number of reflection and assessment tools that examine the role of balance and wellness in life and learning.
