SUMMARY:Crucial Series (Winter/Spring 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Crucial Series (Winter/Spring 2026)\n  \nFoM members special pricing\n*$500 each course or $1000 for all 3 \n  \nCrucial Conversations for Accountability – 2 day course\n  \nTuesdays\, 8:30 to 4 \n\nMay 26\, 2026\nJune 9\, 2026\n\n  \nMANAGING PERFORMANCE IS MORE THAN A PROCESS—IT’S ABOUT PEOPLE – Sure\, there are fancy software and tools to make performance management seamless and easy. But any manager who’s struggled to close a significant performance gap or anyone who has ever walked out of an annual review feeling like they’ve just been processed rather than prioritized knows there’s nothing easy about it.  Deflated and disenchanted people don’t improve\, and neither do results.  In reality\, performance management is about addressing your people’s behavior routinely and consistently. It’s about candidly coaching through challenges and holding people accountable for lapses in behavior. It’s about identifying goals\, fast-tracking careers\, and in the process\, improving your bottom line. These are communication skills—the difficult kind that may not come naturally\, but when learned\, mean the difference between managing people and managing process.  The good news is these accountability skills are replicable and learnable. We’re all just a few crucial skills away from learning how to manage people and performance daily and directly. \n  \nInformation and registration \n  \nCrucial Influence – 1 day course\n\nWednesday\, 8:30 to 4:00 \n\nFebruary 11\, 2026\n\n  \nTHE NEW SCIENCE OF LEADERSHIP: When facing persistent\, resistant challenges\, leaders often surrender to poor results or invest in change efforts that waste time and resources. And yet it’s possible to influence behavior with surprisingly predictable success. For the past thirty years\, we’ve studied leaders with a proven ability to influence rapid\, profound and sustainable change. And here’s what we know: human behavior is grounded in six sources of influence. Effective leaders know how to leverage and apply these sources to influence real results. Influencer goes beyond corporate perks and charismatic personalities to teach a method for changing ingrained human behavior. Leaders learn how to achieve better results by changing human habits that are extraordinarily difficult to alter—especially those that mire down teams and organizations. Drawing on the skills of the world’s best change agents and five decades of social-science research\, Influencer teaches why people do what they do and how to help them act differently. \n  \nInformation and registration \n  \nGetting Things Done – 1 day course\n  \nWednesday\, 8:30 to 4:00 \n\nApril 22\, 2026\n\n  \nThe Getting Things Done® (GTD®) methodology was developed 30 years ago by New York Times bestselling author David Allen. The course teaches skills to manage the constant flow of requests\, tasks\, and interruptions people face at all levels of the organization. By learning how to capture\, clarify\, and organize incoming requests\, people are more likely to make strategic decisions about where to invest their time and energy\, focus on the right priorities\, and prevent critical projects from slipping. When used consistently and collectively\, GTD skills also give teams a “way of working” for improved results. The in-person experience of Getting Things Done is an engaging classroom course rich with peer discussion\, real-time practice\, and group support and coaching. Delivered in one day\, this in-person course offers the best in traditional learning and development. \n  \nInformation and registration \n  \n  \nBureau du développement professionnel continu\nOffice of Continuing Professional Development \nFaculté de médecine | Faculty of Medicine \nUniversité d’Ottawa | University of Ottawa \nÉdifice Loeb | Loeb Building\n725 Parkdale Ave (WM158) Ottawa\, ON K1H 8M5 Canada \nuOttawa.ca/faculte-medecine | uOttawa.ca/faculty-medicine

SUMMARY:Creating Space 16: The Impact of Identities on Health and Wellbeing
DESCRIPTION:Creating Space 16: The Impact of Identities on Health and Wellbeing\nApril 19-21\, 2026 | Ottawa\, Ontario \nIn Person Conference  \nRegistration now open! \n  \nOBJECTIVES \n\nExplore the impact of arts and humanities in health professions education and practice\, including their role in fostering better outcomes.\nEngage with the arts’ and humanities’ contribution to health professional wellness and create opportunities for growth and development\nElevate the voices of people with lived experience and build bridges between patients\, the health care system and different culture\n\n  \nProfessional identity formation is complex: Navigating our various identities affects our personal health\, wellbeing\, and our relationships with colleagues and those we care for. The arts and humanities (including indigenous ways of knowing\, history\, literature\, poetry\, theater\, the performing arts\, audio and video recordings and the visual arts) are often woven into the teaching\, learning\, development and practice of health professions. These holistic\, integrated approaches deliver better outcomes for patients and their communities. They help clinicians develop insight\, reduce burnout and compassion fatigue by making sense of their experiences not only as clinicians but also as learners and members of inter-disciplinary teams. \nThis exploration of identity and lived experience engenders culturally responsive\, safe\, healthcare settings\, lowers barriers to care\, and promotes empathy\, communication skills and perspective-taking. Sharing voices and perspectives through the arts and humanities leads to advocacy for social and cultural change. \n“Identity”\, the theme of this year’s conference of the Canadian Association of Health Humanities\, is foundational to health and wellbeing. This conference is the opportunity to creatively share how the arts and humanities improve healthcare and health professional education. And it will highlight opportunities to explore how notions of personal\, professional or team identities can facilitate growth or change. \n  \nQUESTIONS? \nPlease contact cpd@uottawa.ca.
