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.

SUMMARY:Did That Cross a Line? A Practical Guide to Professionalism for Faculty
DESCRIPTION:Did That Cross a Line? A Practical Guide to Professionalism for Faculty\nFormat: Virtual webinar via Zoom \nDate: Tuesday\, May 12\, 2026 | 5:00PM – 7:00PM \nPresenters: Dr. Anna Byszewski and Dr. Sudhir Sundaresan \nAccreditation: 2.00 Mainpro+® Certified Activity credits | 2.00 RCPSC Section 1 Hours \nRegister now!  \n  \nProfessionalism is more than a policy — it is a daily practice that shapes our workplace and the learning environment\, supports psychological safety\, and defines our culture at the Faculty of Medicine. Yet\, it is also one of the most challenging areas to navigate in real life. As faculty members\, we are expected to model professional behavior\, recognize when boundaries are crossed\, and respond appropriately when concerns arise involving learners or colleagues. \nThis interactive\, case-based session brings professionalism out of the abstract and into real scenarios drawn from clinical and educational practice. Together\, we will explore grey zones\, develop confidence in identifying and addressing lapses\, and learn how to support a respectful and inclusive workplace. This session is suited to all faculty members\, especially front-line teachers and educational leaders committed to fostering excellence in the learning environment. \n  \nBureau du développement professionnel continu\nOffice of Continuing Professional Development\n\nFaculté de médecine | Faculty of Medicine\n\nUniversité d’Ottawa | University of Ottawa\n\nÉdifice Loeb | Loeb Building\n725 Parkdale Ave (WM158) Ottawa\, ON K1H 8M5 Canada\n\nuOttawa.ca/faculte-medecine | uOttawa.ca/faculty-medicine

SUMMARY:Current Trends in Orthopaedics
DESCRIPTION:Current Trends in Orthopaedics \nSeptember 27 – October 3\, 2026 \nAlsace\, France \nIn Person Program \nLearn more or sign up today!  \n  \nWe are delighted to share some exciting news: our 2026 edition of Current Trends in Orthopaedics will take place in the heart of Alsace\, France\, from September 27 to October 3\, 2026. \nThis event has come to represent a rare and exceptional combination of cutting-edge continuing medical education and carefully crafted travel experiences. With each edition\, we aim to raise the bar—and 2026 will be no exception. \nFor our home base\, we’ve chosen the Hôtel A La Cour d’Alsace in the picturesque town of Obernai. Framed by vineyards to the west and the Rhine to the east\, Obernai is as charming as it is well situated. The hotel offers 50 beautifully appointed rooms\, two restaurants\, a cozy bar\, a peaceful garden\, spa facilities\, and an indoor pool—all right in the lively town center\, surrounded by cafés\, wine bars\, bakeries\, and boutiques. \nOur cycling routes will mostly follow scenic\, dedicated paths that wind through Alsace’s renowned vineyards\, and we’ll also ride sections of the legendary Route des Vins d’Alsace\, linking some of the region’s most beautiful towns. Hiking trails will take us higher into the hills\, offering panoramic views and a deeper connection to the landscape – more details can be found on our itinerary page. \nCulinary delights will\, of course\, be a highlight. Alsace is a food lover’s paradise\, boasting the highest density of Michelin-starred restaurants in France. But just as appealing are the rustic winstübs—small\, family-run eateries serving local specialties like choucroute\, baeckeoffe\, quenelles\, tarte flambée\, spaetzle\, and\, of course\, the region’s exceptional wines. \nWe remain committed to delivering a world-class educational experience. Expect expert-led sessions\, dynamic discussions\, and timely\, relevant topics that are as engaging as they are essential. That’s our promise to you. \nThese opportunities are rare\, and space will be limited. Rooms will be assigned on a first-come\, first-served basis\, and our recent programs have all reached capacity quickly—with extensive waitlists. \nIf you’re interested in joining us\, please complete the sign-up form with your details. Our travel partners at Arts & Travel will follow up to confirm your place and provide next steps. \nWe can’t wait to welcome you to Alsace for what promises to be an unforgettable experience. \nPaul R. Kim MD\, FRCSC \nCourse Director \nUniversity of Ottawa \n  \nQuestions? Please contact Abbie O’Leary\, Trip Designer\, Arts & Travel (www.artsandtravel.com)
