Centre for Medical Education News
Dear Friends, Welcome to the fall 2014 edi on of the Centre for Medical Educa on newsle er! We’ve enjoyed a number of warm, beau ful days since our last publica on, and I hope that your summer was a good one. For some, summer means kicking back and vaca oning with loved ones. For others, it is a me to maintain produc vity. During this me, many of us also represented the Centre at the AMEE (Associa on for Medical Educa on in Europe) Conference in Milan, Italy. Whatever the case may be, I hope that you enjoyed the summer and are feeling ready to take on the challenges that a new academic year brings. Much of what defines the Centre is who we are and with whom we interact. In fact, we con nually benefit from collabora ons between Centre Members and visitors to McGill, and I thought I would highlight some of the guests we have welcomed since last spring. In May, Dr. Lynn Monrouxe from Cardiff University, Wales, visited the Centre and presented “The Impact of Professional Culture on Becoming a Healthcare Professional—Breaking the Mould” at Medical Educa on Rounds. Days later, we welcomed six IMEX (Interna onal Medical Educators eXchange) scholars, from Canada, Holland, Sweden and the UK, in what was, I believe, a truly enriching experience. In June, Dr. Brian Hodges from the University of Toronto wrapped up his Advanced Seminar on Theore cal Founda ons in MedEd Research with his fi h and final session for Core Faculty and MA students in the health professions. More recently, we welcomed Dr. John Dockerty from the University of Otago, New Zealand, and Dr. Amitai Oberman, from the Baruch Padeh Medical Centre, Israel. Both individuals came to McGill to learn about Physicianship and curricular renewal, and we hope that they will be able to take some of their “lessons learned” back to their own se ngs. Lastly, in late October, ten physicians from Gifu University in Japan will visit the Centre and the MUHC for a one‐week course in clinical teaching. We look forward to a produc ve visit and a lively exchange of ideas. Closer to home, the Centre recently welcomed some new faces as well, and I invite you to read through our newsle er to learn about this year’s new Centre Members, visi ng professors, postgraduate fellows and elec ve students. Please also con nue to flip through these pages for addi onal informa on on awards, upcoming events and scholarly ac vity at the Centre. The fall is quickly shaping up to be a busy season, and we are pleased to share our ac vi es and achievements with you as we con nue to strive for educa onal excellence and innova on in the health professions. With best wishes, Yvonne Steinert, Ph.D. Director, Centre for Medical Educa on Richard and Sylvia Cruess Chair in Medical Educa on

Paving the Future in MedEd
Interview with Ma hew Tse and Andrea Kessous By Melissa Como
We have a number of educa onal programs at the Centre for Medical Educa on. Ma hew Tse, a fourth‐year medical student from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, and Andrea Kessous, a first‐year resident in Family Medicine from McGill, completed their MedEd elec ves at the Centre from August 25 to September 21, 2014. What made you choose an elec ve in medical educa on? MT: I thought it would be a good idea to arrange my elec ve in medical
educa on to develop an insight into educa on research. My previous
research experience had been in the basic sciences.
AK: I chose an elec ve in medical educa on in order to further the
research that I had started in the field as a medical student and to learn more about different aspects of medical educa on at the
undergraduate and postgraduate level.
What is your main interest in medical educa on?
MT: For me, I love teaching. I find great pleasure in taking what may
have been a bewildering topic and ge ng it to finally make sense. I also
really like the topic of assessment ‐ the
ques on of how you figure out whether someone has the knowledge and skills
to perform as a competent, safe doctor
is, for me, a very interes ng one.
AK: I have two main interests in medical educa on. The first is
admissions processes at the undergraduate level; the second is undergraduate clerkship educa on.
How do you see medical educa on playing into your future career?
MT: I really hope to spend a decent por on of my me teaching medical students in the future. The very act of being a teacher means that one is
a role model, and this is a challenge I find appealing.
AK: I hope to be able to teach medical students at the undergraduate
level and to contribute to undergraduate curriculum development. I
would also like to con nue my research in undergraduate medical admissions.
Center Member Spotlight
Interview with Dr. Michelle Elizov By Melissa Como
Dr. Michelle Elizov is an Associate Professor of Medicine in the
Department of Medicine, a member of the Faculty Development Commi ee of the Faculty of Medicine, and Director of the Medical
Educa on Elec ves Program at the Centre.
How did you become interested in medical educa on?
It was actually Dr. McLeod with whom I first sat down, who
encouraged me to get involved in a MedEd project. It was really interes ng to me to see that there’s a whole world of people who
think about what we can do to make the educa on process be er. I’m
also the daughter of two teachers, so educa on and how to teach and
how to assess and thinking about educa on beyond just doing your homework was a topic of conversa on at home as well.
What are your main interests in medical educa on? They’ve morphed over me. Ini ally I was interested in postgrad
educa on‐related topics because I was program director and it was
relevant to me at the me, but then seeing what was going on and how best to help colleagues and residents and students, I sort of went
into the mentorship literature, and that’s probably s ll my main area
of interest.
What would you say are the joys of medical educa on?
I think it has as much to do with the people I get to work with, as the topics I get to work on. It’s so important to realize that the care of our
pa ents is ghtly intertwined with the learning of our students and
residents and our own learning. If we don’t focus on medical educa on and just how to do it be er, I think that’s a disservice in the
long run to our pa ents. So it that makes me happy to know that I’m
contribu ng in another way, and not just through direct pa ent care. I
also love talking to the people at the Centre
and medical educators in general who are passionate about this for the same reason.
We’re par cularly fortunate at the Centre to be surrounded by
enthusias c, intelligent people who are generous of their me and of their exper se. It builds this community where it's just fun to do what
we do.
What would you say are the joys of running the elec ves program? I
guess it’s sort of ed in.
It is ed in. I think the idea of being able to help learners think about
the way they learn and how to make the educa on in their environment be er, again by having them understand how this
ul mately impacts the pa ent, is huge. It’s nice to see how they
develop their thought process but also their apprecia on for medical educa on as a means of making things be er.
Based on your experience, what advice would you have for budding medical educators, like Ma hew or Andrea?
Of course I’m biased, but I think that finding a mentor that will
support you in this is key. Several of my own mentors are right here at the Centre – Peter, Linda, Yvonne – and they’ve been unwavering in
their support of what I do, and helpful with their guidance and advice.
So I think mentorship is a big deal. I would also suggest not losing sight of why it is that you were interested in medical educa on in the first
place. There will be so many compe ng interests and so many
compe ng demands on your me, that it’s important to say, “This is s ll important to me. This is something that I believe will make things
be er” and s ck with that.
