Dear Colleagues and Trainees,
Last week at the 6th Clinical Innovation Competition, which showcases the top innovations of the entire Faculty of Medicine and Health Science and its nine-affiliated hospitals, the Department of Surgery was outstandingly represented!
Our members won two of the three prejudged prizes for targeted innovation areas. Likewise, of the five finalist companies, three were from our Department and two of these were student-run companies that evolved from our Innovation Masters Program.
The inaugural Fiera Capital Awards recipients are:
Sayed Azher, a PhD student in experimental surgery who is finding ways to integrate technologies like artificial intelligence and virtual reality simulations into medical education.
Misghana Kassa, a MSc student in experimental surgery who is testing the efficacy of antimicrobial coatings that could safeguard replacement joints (i.e., hips, knees) against infection.
Congratulations to all the winners this year!

#McGill24 is back! We are asking our academic, administrative and support staff to consider making a McGill24 gift towards the McGill Department of Medicine Grants for Scholarship in Medical Education.
These grants are available to DOM faculty and trainees through a selection process to support research and innovation projects in medical education. Below are some examples of projects funded by this initiative. Any contributions/gifts to the Department of Medicine Grants for Scholarship in Medical Education go fully to our researchers.
We welcomed over 120 participants to our 2nd Schwartz Rounds on Feb 14th, 2023. The theme was: The Intersection of Faculty and Learner Well-Being
Panelists Dr. Clara Long (R1), Mr. Paul Kennedy (Unit Coordinator, MGH), and Dr. Ning-Zi Sun offered diverse perspectives on the topic. A rich and engaged discussion followed whereby participants stressed the importance of expectations for both faculty and trainees. Communication between faculty and trainees is key to wellness as is teamwork for all members working together for a common goal.
The department would like to extend our congratulations to Haitham Shoman for being awarded the CIHR - Michael Smith Foreign Study Supplement to travel to Harvard University in Boston as part of his research.
Congratulations Haitham and best wishes for continued success in your PhD program.
