About MGR
MGR is a forum for the DoM to promote excellence and quality in medicine by providing clinicians with state-of-the art information and reasoning in medical care; providing updates on scientific advances that affect the practice of medicine.
We profoundly thank our presenters for sharing their time and expertise to bring you topics that enrich the program helping physicians, both faculty and in the community; students, residents, fellows, members of multidisciplinary teams, and other healthcare professionals, keep up-to-date in continuous professional development, knowledge translation, and important evolving areas that may be outside their core practice.
MGR is also a setting for discussion of topics that strengthen the relationship of medicine to the broader community. Improving competency in; medical knowledge, patient care, professionalism, practice based learning and communication skills.
The Department of Medicine Grand Rounds are a self-approved group learning activity (Section 1) as defined by the Maintenance of Certification program of The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. MGR evaluations can be completed online following each presentation.
