Johannes Keunen, Director of Continuing Professional Development & Knowledge Translation, works with our faculty to strenghten professional development activities across a range of divisions.
In partnership with Continuing Education and Professional Development (CEPD), our department strives to strengthen the quality of lifelong education for physicians and health care providers locally, in Canada, and around the world. Our mission is to educate and equip health leaders in the area of reproductive health through research and the dissemination of the most up-to-date and relevant knowledge.
Citywide rounds
We organize monthly Citywide Rounds, hosted by Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, St. Michael's Hospital, and Mount Sinai Hospital. These rounds are presented virtually on Friday mornings (occasionally in person), and broadcast across many GTA hospital sites. Lectures include the Annual International Women's Day Lecture, the Cannell Lecture, the Carol Cowell Lectureship in Paediatric & Adolescent Gynaecology, and Global Women's Health Lecture.
Each of the three fully-affiliated sites also organize weekly grand rounds. Citywide and Grand Rounds notices are sent by email to our U of T Ob-Gyn community throughout the year.
CPD programs
We are committed to providing ongoing educational support for health care professionals and have moved our postgraduate education to a virtual platform (using Zoom) for the foreseeable future. We have enlisted some of our most informed and engaging clinicians/teachers to present on many important topics in women’s health.
