Undergraduate Education Committee

Mandate

The Undergraduate Education Committee’s mandate is to promote excellence in Undergraduate education from the onset to completion of Medicine, specifically promoting excellence in teaching Perioperative medicine; including preoperative evaluation skills, resuscitation, pain management, technical skills, team centered care and other essential skills necessary for all physicians. Development and implementation of innovative teaching through simulation and web-based educational tools will be incorporated to achieve these goals.

Committee Members

The Undergraduate program could not function at a high level of excellence without the commitment and dedication of the Undergraduate Education Committee. The committee is composed of the site coordinators from our 6 core teaching hospitals and our 6 community partners, as well as our electives coordinator, simulation coordinator, pre-clerkship coordinator, E-learning coordinator, a Year 3 and 4 student representative, a resident representative, the Vice-Chair of Education and the Chair of the Department of Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine. This committee meets on a monthly basis during the academic year.
