Continuing Education
Sinai Health is committed to fostering a culture of continuous learning and growth, where everyone, regardless of their role, has the opportunity to be a learner.
We support ongoing education so our people, learners and, ultimately, our patients benefit from fresh perspectives and new knowledge.
Our people in both clinical and non-clinical roles have access to a wide range 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, sharing new knowledge with other clinicians and researchers.
