A3 Moving from leading self to leading health care transformation Presenter: Amanda Bjorn BA, BSc(OT), Jack Haggarty MD, FRCPC (Professor)Often, we do not perceive the power that the health care system has over us. We don’t see the ‘invisible threads’ in the system and how they influence us. Exploring and challenging our mental models and world views, enables our engagement in the health care system as potential leaders. Being able to see and understand the system while being aware of our individual and collective beliefs, strengths, motives, perceptions and defenses prepares us to effectively champion health care transformation.

Learning objectives:• Examine the relationship between leading self and leading health care transformation.• Assess the health care system in which we operate and how the system compels us to act, think and behave.• Select strategies to enable our participation in health care transformation and leadership.

A4 Top ten updates for preceptors of NOSM family medicine residents Presenters: Kim Varty MD, CCFP (Assistant Professor), Jessica Beaton MD, CCFP (Assistant Professor)Being a preceptor is both a rewarding and challenging undertaking. The NOSM Family Medicine Residency Faculty Handbook was developed with the goal of assisting Faculty in addressing questions about curriculum, goals and objectives, assessment forms and to support faculty development. The top ten updates for family medicine preceptors will be highlighted. Through group discussion, participants will identify preceptor challenges and review strategies for effectively precepting family medicine residents.

Learning objectives:• Examine common challenges for preceptors of NOSM family medicine residents.• Identify the top ten updates for NOSM family medicine residency preceptors including CFPC Triple C curriculum changes, assessment forms and scheduling processes.• Demonstrate strategies for effectively preceptoring family medicine residents.

Participants will explore their relationships with food and eating; how food is both nourishing and nurturing; and, how different approaches with food may be personally or professionally helpful or harmful. Tips and strategies will be explored to support a shift in our attitudes as health care professionals and clinical educators towards food and its role in self-care, health promotion, and disease prevention.

Learning objectives:• Describe how food and eating relationships influence personal practices and health professional recommendations. • Explain the concepts of emotional eating, dieting and weight bias. • Apply strategies for an attitudinal shift towards food and its role in self-care, health promotion, and disease prevention.



B1 Arts and humanities in medical education: How using art may make you a better clinician and teacher Presenters: Erin Cameron PhD (Assistant Professor), Frances Kilbertus MD, CCFP, MMedEd (Associate Professor), Marion Maar PhD (Associate Professor), Maurianne Reade MD, CCFP(EM) (Associate Professor)Arts and humanities are increasingly used to support the development of compassionate, patient centered, collaborative and critically thinking health care professionals. Humanities based learning has been considered as a counter-balance to the highly technological and biological focus of modern medicine thus bringing attention back to the patient and relationship in healthcare. Participants will engage in a visual arts based learning activity and reflect upon how the arts and humanities might benefit their clinical and educational practice.

Learning objectives:• Describe how the humanities can be useful in ‘humanizing’ medical and health care professional education.• Identify how arts based learning can enhance critical thinking, collaboration and narrative competence.• Appraise the value of the arts and humanities in medical and health care professional education.

B2 Research ethics board review simulation Presenters: Penny Moody-Corbett PhD (Professor), Lisa Allen PhDKey to NOSM’s strategic plan is strengthening the capacity to perform outstanding research that aligns with the health needs of Northern Ontario. Research protocols and proposals are reviewed by a research ethics board (REB) and understanding the process is key for a successful review. Following review of procedures used by a typical REB, participants will form a mock REB and review a research proposal determining if the proposal is acceptable, requires modification, or is unacceptable. The rational for the mock REB decision will be clarified.

Learning objectives:• Describe the procedures used by a REB in reviewing a research proposal.• Identify key elements of a research proposal necessary for a successful REB review.• Explain the rational for REB review decisions.


B3 How can we teach & assess collective competence at NOSM? Presenter: Lorelei Lingard PhD (Professor, Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, Western University)Quality teamwork requires more than individual competence; it requires collective competence. But how do we educate for collective competence? How do we assess it? Workshop participants will examine current teaching and assessment practices at NOSM. How do these practices support the development of collective competence? How might they undermine it? Through exploring the ‘fit’ between our current educational practices and the concept of collective competence, we will work together to identify feasible strategies for integrating the concept of collective competence into our work.

Learning objectives:• Appraise how the concept of ‘collective competence’ fits or conflicts with existing teaching and assessment approaches at NOSM.• Discuss strategies and challenges related to integrating ‘collective competence’ into existing teaching and assessment practices.

B4 Assessment of resident performance: A primer Presenters: Jennifer Fawcett BA, MPH, Julie Rendell BAH, BEd, Thomas Crichton MD, CCFP, FCFP (Associate Professor)Creating a fair and supportive resident assessment environment is crucial for both residents and faculty and a core requirement of all residency programs. The Postgraduate Assessment of Resident Performance Policy clarifies faculty and resident responsibilities throughout all stages of assessment. Using a case-based approach, participants will apply the Policy providing an opportunity to examine the various roles of faculty along with ensuring that a fair assessment process is being followed. Factors contributing to performance issues will be highlighted.
