The Canada/Brazil Respirology Collaboration Program

The roles that physicians are called upon to perform in our current competency frameworks depend on concepts, theories, and ways of knowing that come from the social sciences and humanities. These forms of knowledge are particularly critical to the provision of compassionate, equitable patient care. However, they have only recently been introduced into Canadian medical education, so is it any wonder that medical educators continue to express uncertainty about what and how to teach in these areas?

The Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, at the University of Toronto is seeking applicants for the position of Department Lead - Competence by Design.
