Continuing Education
Sinai Health is committed to fostering a culture of continuous learning and growth in which everyone, regardless of their role, has the opportunity to be a learner.
We are dedicated to ongoing education to ensure that our people, learners and, ultimately, our patients benefit from fresh perspectives and knowledge transfer.
Our people in both clinical and non-clinical roles have access to a variety of learning opportunities, including rounds, conferences, teleconferences, workshops, courses, seminars, lectures and e-learning modules.
In a typical year, Sinai Health physicians organize and participate in about 50 local, national and international workshops and conferences aimed at sharing new knowledge with other clinicians and researchers.
The following are our upcoming continuing education opportunities.
