Orthopaedic Faculty Research Evening
On Thursday, June 10th we held our faculty-wide research night. The Dragon’s Den format featured presentations by 5 collaborative groups across our Division. Thanks to the presenters and to the Dragons including Jim Waddell, Robin Richards, Allan Gross, Joseph Schatzker and Aileen Davis who joined me in adjudicating the event. Thanks as well to our Vice-Chair Research Albert Yee for organizing the event.
The successful project was led by Sarah Ward and is entitled “Improving post-pandemic resident education and patient care through the implementation of standardized adverse events Data Capture and Quality Rounds throughout the division of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Toronto”. Sarah’s co-investigators include Jesse Wolfstadt, Raj Rampersaud, Christian Veillette, Justues Chang, Jeremie Larouche, Maryse Bouchard and Scott Kim. We look forward to bringing this important project to fruition in order to improve trainee education and patient outcomes.
The runner up group was co-led by Jesse Wolfstadt and Bheeshma Ravi, entitled “Preventable ED visits following orthopaedic procedures: a plan for action!” Other co-investigators include Daniel Pincus, Tim Leroux, Michael Zywiel, Sarah Ward and James Higgins.
The Orthopaedic Council will be meeting shortly to plan to administer funding for the successful project(s). Congratulations to everyone on their efforts to promote cross-institutional collaborative research in our Division.
